Ingredients
- 1 cup arborio rice ( or rice pudding rice, 200 g)
- 2 tins evaporated milk 2x 400 ml (2 x13oz)
- 1 tin coconut milk (400 ml, 13 oz)
- ½ tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ cup mixed dried fruit
- sugar to taste
- butter to grease the slow cooker
Instructions
- Use a knob of butter to grease the slow cooker well.
- Add the rice, evaporated milk and coconut milk, and give everything a good stir.
- Set the slow cooker on low and cook for 2 hours.
- Add the cinnamon and dried fruit, give everything another good stir, and leave to cook for a further 1 to 1 and a half hours.
- At this stage the rice is cooked, but the pudding still has a slightly runny texture - take it off the heat, and leave the lid on for a further 10-15 minutes, the pudding will absorb all the liquid, and become creamy.
- Serve with chopped nuts, seeds, fresh fruit or jam.

Notes
- As mentioned, take the pudding off the heat while it's still slightly runny, as when it cools down and absorbs the remaining liquid, it will become creamy. If cooked until no liquid left, it will become rock solid when it cools down.
- Not that it's not delicious, but it doesn't have the texture we are after. What a fantastic treat this is! If served for breakfast, I would add some chopped nuts or seeds to up its nutritional value even further.
- I did not add any sugar to it, as I am not a big fan of overly sweet desserts, but do feel free to add some to taste.
- The coconut touch is gentle, but really delicious, and it adds so much more flavour.
