Glazed Coconut Rice Pudding With Tropical Fruit Recipes

Steps:

• Beat 2 tablespoons milk with egg yolk in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Combine 2 3/4 cups milk and coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat. When mixture just begins to steam, reduce heat to low.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in rice and cook for 1 minute. Pour in 1/2 cup coconut milk mixture; stir constantly until liquid is completely absorbed and rice is creamy. Repeat this process until the milk mixture is completely incorporated and the rice has a tender, yet slightly firm consistency, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Stir sugar and salt into the rice mixture. Remove from heat. Slowly whisk in egg yolk mixture until completely incorporated and the mixture is custard color, about 1 minute. Whisk in vanilla.
• Cool pudding to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until well-chilled, at least 3 hours. Garnish with mango and Chinese five-spice powder.

Steps:

• Place rice in a saucepan with 1 cup water. Bring to simmer, cover and cook 15 minutes. Set aside, covered, 15 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, combine the coconut milk, 1/4 cup of the cream and the vanilla bean in a heavy saucepan. Scald, then remove from heat. Remove the vanilla bean.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1/3 cup of the sugar. Add the scalded coconut-milk mixture, a little at a time at first, and mix well with the egg yolks. Return to the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until custard begins to thicken and coat the spoon. Do not overcook. Remove from the heat, and continue stirring for 1 minute.
• Strain the custard into a bowl, and stir in salt and two tablespoons of the rum. Fold in rice, cover and chill until very cold, at least 4 hours.
• Whip the remaining cream until stiff, then fold into the rice and custard mixture. Spread the pudding in an oven-proof dish, about 9 inches square, that can go to the table. Refrigerate until just before serving.
• Mix fruit and remaining rum.
• Preheat broiler. Sprinkle remaining sugar on the surface of the pudding, and place under a broiler just until top is lightly browned. Serve at once, with fruit on the side.
