Ingredients
 
 

For the rice pudding:

  • 150 g pudding rice (substitute: arborio rice)
  • 800 g dairy free milk (almond milk works well)
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • 400 g full fat coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

For the topping:

  • 30 g coconut flakes
  • 2 bananas (cut into large chunks (approx 3cm thick))
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • 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.

  • 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.
