Coconut Rice Pudding with Ginger Blueberries

by Anna Chwistek
Anna Chwistek

This coconut rice pudding with ginger blueberries brings a fun twist to the classic recipe.
A creamy rice pudding loaded with coconut milk and flavored with tahini, cardamom and cinnamon!
By adding a blueberry compote with a ginger kick, you’ve got a treat that makes a huge difference in the overall taste and is impossible not to love. A simple bowl of tahini-kissed, creamy rice pudding that tastes truly perfect.

A spoon of tahini works here so well. Its slightly savory flavor adds a nuttiness and lends perfectly to the sweetness of the coconut milk and syrup of the stewed blueberries. The magic of this rice pudding recipe lies in its hidden flavors.

Serve it for breakfast, lunch, or even as dessert. And the best part is that you can cook the rice and the compote at the same time. Minimal prep work with ingredients you’re likely have on hand. And minimal dishes as well, only two pans.

The smell of spiced rice pudding and stewed blueberries bubbling away on your stove top is in itself, a reason to make this. Take the extra time to let the pudding simmer over low heat to release the spices and let the rice become soft and creamy.

The stewed blueberries are truly delicious, given spice from cinnamon and a nice ginger kick on your tongue. You can store what’s left of the blueberry compote in your fridge ready for your next breakfast but equally, makes for a brilliant dessert spooned over some vanilla ice cream.

It’s all about the mix of textures of the rice, pistachios and blueberries. I used jasmin rice for this recipe, but white or brown rice will work as well. You can add some extra almond butter for more creaminess or serve it with almonds or other nuts and seeds. Play around, use the nuts you love the most, have it with or without yoghurt, use peanut butter instead of tahini. Rice pudding is a deeply personal thing, and this recipe here is how I like to do it.
