INGREDIENTS

***Rice Pudding:
2 cups cooked rice
3 eggs, beaten
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of fine-grain kosher salt
1 (13.5 oz. can) coconut milk
½ cup whole milk
½ cup raisins

***Raspberry Cinnamon Puree:
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup frozen raspberries

METHOD

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x9x2 casserole dish by spraying it with baking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt. Gradually add the coconut milk, and whole milk; whisking to combine. Fold in the rice and raisins; mixing to combine. Pour into a prepared 9x9x2 square casserole dish. Place casserole inside of a larger baking pan. Pour hot tap water 1-1/4” deep around casserole into larger pan (for even cooking of rice pudding). Bake for 1 hour. Remove casserole from water and place on cooling rack, letting it stand for 10 minutes to set before serving.

Meanwhile, whisk together all the puree ingredients, except the raspberries, in small saucepan over medium heat until sugar and cornstarch are dissolved. Add the raspberries and constantly stir with wooden spoon until mixture boils, and then reduce heat to simmer for 5 minutes, while occasionally stirring. Carefully pour the hot mixture into a blender and remove center of lid. Place a clean kitchen towel over the hole of the lid, and puree until smooth, and then strain through a sieve using a spoon to push the puree through to remove most of the seeds. (Please use a cheesecloth to strain the puree instead if you want to remove all of the seeds.)

To serve, spoon the raspberry sauce onto serving plate, and dampen an ice cream scoop with tap water (to prevent sticking) to scoop a mound of rice pudding on top of puree (see above photograph). – Enjoy!
