COLOMBIAN COCONUT RICE PUDDING



Colombian Coconut Rice Pudding image

This is a very good rice pudding recipe that I got from a box of Carolina White Rice. I usually add the flake coconut as my optional ingredient, but it is also terrific with diced mango. It does not work well with skim milk or 1% milk, but is ok with anything 2% or more.
