A creamy and comforting Lebanese rice pudding made with coconut milk instead of dairy, ensuring it's safe for those with dairy and nut allergies. Lightly sweetened and flavored with rose water and orange blossom water.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Short-grain rice (like Arborio)
- 4 cups Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 2 cups Water
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rose water
- 1 teaspoon Orange blossom water

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
- 2In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is very soft and the mixture has thickened.
- 3Stir in the sugar, rose water, and orange blossom water. Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pudding reaches your desired consistency.
