Whenever we have rice for dinner, I make extra so that I can also whip up a batch of rice pudding. This dairy-free recipe is a comforting after-dinner treat.
This recipe is Henry-approved. |

Directions
Place the
first six ingredients in small saucepan. Heat on medium-low for 20 to 30
minutes, stirring frequently until it becomes thick and creamy. Do not allow to
boil.

Alternatively,
refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Then, use a teaspoon to scoop out small portions and roll

How your kids can help
* Let your kids
choose their own dried fruit to mix in. Options might include golden raisins, dates,
currants, cherries, blueberries, mango or apricot. Set out a few selections and
let them pick their favorite. Then, let each child stir in one tablespoon of
fruit to customize their serving of coconut rice pudding.
Looks yummy!!!
