Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Hawaiian Rice Pudding
  1. Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain well and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of full-fat coconut milk. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender.
  3. Stir in ½ cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of pineapple chunks. Return to low heat for 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. If needed, add more coconut milk for desired consistency.
  5. Cool slightly before serving warm or chilling in the refrigerator for an hour. Garnish with toasted coconut or fresh fruit.

Notes

Use short-grain jasmine rice for optimal creaminess. Low-fat coconut milk may lead to a watery pudding. Consider making in advance for better flavor.
