Steps

Cook Rice Pudding

Rinse the rice with cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, milk, sugar, ground cardamom (or cardamom pods), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, for about 30-40 minutes, until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened. If using cardamom pods, remove them.

Chill & Mango Puree

Remove the rice pudding from the heat and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely chilled. Meanwhile, peel the mangoes, cut the flesh from the pit, and blend into a smooth puree. If needed, add a little water or lime juice to achieve the desired consistency.

Serve

Spoon the chilled rice pudding into serving bowls. Ladle the mango puree over the top, then generously sprinkle with coconut chips. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Extra Tips

► You can prepare the rice pudding the day before; this allows the flavors to meld beautifully, and you only need to make the mango puree fresh before serving.

► For a more intense cardamom flavor, lightly crush the pods before cooking to release the aroma of the seeds.

► You can add a splash of lime juice to the mango puree; it enhances the mango's sweetness and adds a refreshing zest.
