Add the rice, almond milk and sugar to a large saucepan.
150 g pudding rice, 800 g dairy free milk, 50 g caster sugar
Bring to the boil and then turn the heat down and simmer gently, stirring often, for around 25 minutes. Don’t have the heat too high otherwise the pan could boil over.
Add the coconut milk and vanilla and simmer for another 20-25 minutes, stirring often, until the milk has developed a thicker, cream-like consistency. It will thicken more once it is off the hob. Remove from the hob and set aside to thicken more whilst you make the topping.
400 g full fat coconut milk, 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the banana chunks and sprinkle them with 1 tbsp of sugar. To the other side of the saucepan add the coconut flakes and fry both over a medium heat for 4 minutes, stirring the coconut flakes occasionally during that time but turning the banana only once halfway through.
30 g coconut flakes, 2 bananas, 1 tbsp caster sugar, 1 tsp coconut oil
Serve the rice pudding warm topped with the caramelised banana and crispy golden coconut flakes.
