By á-39535

Chocolatey rice pudding with a touch or orange flavor resembles a thick soup, but is delicious for dessert!

Ingredients

• 3 cups rice
• 6 cups water
• 2 cups coconut milk or evaporated milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 orange leaf (LAUMOLI)- Optional can use an orange peel or a dash of orange extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot combine rice and water and bring it to a boil.

Stir in coconut milk. (You can substitute it with evaporated milk.)

Add sugar, orange leaf or peel.
