Allergens

None

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup rice pudding
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
• Mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, rice pudding, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Stir well to blend the flavors.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to steam but not boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Allow it to simmer gently for about 15 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Once the pudding has thickened, remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Fold in the shredded coconut and raisins, then transfer the mixture into two serving bowls.
4. Top each bowl with chopped pistachios and a sprig of fresh mint leaves.
