Ingredients
  • 1 c. uncooked basmati rice
  • 6 c. water
  • 1 ½ tsp. salt
  • 4 egg whites
  • ½ c. coconut oil and 2 T. (2 T. will be used to grease the baking dish)*
  • 2 c. coconut milk
  • 1 c. sugar (or ½ c. honey – see note below)**
  • 2 T. vanilla extract
  • 1 T. lemon extract
  • 1.5-2 T. cinnamon
  • ½ c. shredded sweet coconut
  • Coconut Oil or Canola spray
Instructions
  1. In a large boiling pot (5 quart) on the stovetop, boil rice, water and salt for 20 minutes uncovered.
  2. After rice cooks for 20 minutes, add in coconut oil, coconut milk, sugar and vanilla. Stir well.
  3. Beat egg whites in a bowl with an electric mixer until foamy (They will become like white clouds).
  4. Fold egg whites into the rice mixture in the pot on the stove.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  6. Grease a 13x9x2 inch-baking dish with coconut oil.
  7. Pour in rice mixture into the baking dish. (Note: The dish will be very watery and a little lumpy. Not to worry, once the dish cooks and then is put in the frig overnight, the texture changes).
  8. Sprinkle the top evenly with 2 T. cinnamon and shredded sweet coconut.
  9. Spray top of dish lightly with canola spray.
  10. Bake dish in the oven at 350 °F for one hour.
  11. Cool dish for approximately 20 minutes.
  12. When dish is cool, cover with saran wrap or tin foil and refrigerate overnight. (Keeping the dish in the frig overnight will give it a different texture and flavor).
  13. The next day, take the rice pudding out of the frig. You can keep in the baking dish to store. However, what I like to do is scoop all the rice pudding into a large tupperware container and mix it all together. When I serve it, I put about 1 T. of heavy cream (or coconut milk) mixed into each serving. I then slice bananas (or strawberries for a topping — sometimes even adding a dollop of whip cream). Adding in 1-2 T. of coconut milk or cream makes the dish very moist and delicious.
