This jasmine rice pudding recipe was sponsored by Veetee Rice USA.  All opinions are my own.

Honey Coconut Lime Jasmine Rice Pudding

Rice pudding is one of the most comforting foods out there.  Soft and sweet, served warm or cold, it’s a classic dessert that’s surprisingly easy to prepare.

I love jasmine rice for its floral fragrance, so I thought it would be perfect to use for a delicately flavored rice pudding.

This jasmine rice pudding gets its bouquet of scent from a unique combination of ingredients.  Honey provides its own aromatics, while lime juice brightens with a citrus twist.  Coconut milk adds a tropical touch, while the warm spices of cardamom and cinnamon bring an earthy tone.

All together, they make a lovely rice pudding.  I make my rice pudding the easy way, without eggs, so there’s no worry about curdling or getting too firm or dry.

To make this jasmine rice pudding, I’m using a wonderful new product called Veetee Dine In Rice.  Veetee Dine In Rice delivers the taste and flavor of fluffy, aromatic home-cooked rice in just 2 minutes from your microwave or wok.

It’s remarkably convenient, and I was very impressed with how good it was.  If I hadn’t put it in the microwave myself, I would have thought someone had picked it up fresh from a local restaurant.

Veetee Dine In Rice comes in a variety of flavors suitable for many meal applications.

  • Thai Jasmine Rice
  • Basmati Rice
  • Basmati & Wild Rice
  • Wholegrain Brown Rice
  • Long Grain Rice
  • Whole Grain Brown Rice and Quinoa
  • Red Beans & Rice New Orleans Style
  • Chicken Flavor Rice
  • Golden Vegetable Rice
  • Pilaf Rice
  • Spanish Rice

I used Thai Jasmine Rice for today’s recipe.

In addition to great taste and texture, all of their rice varieties have a 12 month shelf life, making it easy to stock up your pantry.

Tips for Making Jasmine Rice Pudding

  • I usually use whole milk, because it reduces nicely and lends a satisfying mouth feel.
  • Coconut milk is sold in cans and is different from coconut water or coconut cream.  Check the label to make sure you have the right thing.  Leftover coconut milk makes a wonderful curry base!
  • Green cardamom comes in two forms: preground (expensive), and pods (affordable).  Buy the pods and grind the seeds yourself for the best flavor and best price.
  • Rice pudding can be served slightly warm, or chilled.  Either way, wait until the last second to garnish with honey.
  • The higher quality the honey, the better.  The honey flavor really shines in this recipe, so pick a good one.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice such as Veetee Dine In Thai Jasmine Rice
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk
  • Squeeze of fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey plus more to garnish
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Seeds of 1 green cardomom pod finely ground

Instructions

  1. Combine the rice, milk, coconut milk, lime juice, and honey in a pot. Stir together. Taste the mixture; it should be slightly sweet, but not too sweet, because you'll be garnishing with honey later.
  2. Bring to a gentle boil uncovered. Reduce the heat until the mixture just barely bubbles.
  3. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened enough to sit on a fork without dripping liquid. (Keep in mind that the pudding will thicken even more once it cools.) Stir in the ground cinnamon and the ground cardamom.

  4. Let cool slightly. Prepare portions, then garnish generously with more honey and serve immediately.

    I frequently use Jasmine rice, but I’ve never thought to make rice pudding with it. I haven’t seen the Veetee rice, but I’m going to look for it. It’s so convenient and I’m looking forward to making your rice pudding. Yum!

    I love Veetee Rice. The convenience and taste cannot be beat. It’s such a great staple to have on hand in the pantry! I made a shrimp dish with this rice a few weeks ago, and it was delicious!

      When do you use the cardamom pod? Like what step or is it a garnish?

        Oh my, I left out a step! It’s been corrected now. You open the pod and get the black seeds out. Discard the pod. Grind the seeds into powder. Add ground cardamom powder and ground cinnamon when you remove the pudding from the heat, and stir in. (If you don’t want to grind your own cardamom powder, just use a pinch of pre-ground. Or leave it out if you prefer.)

    While I’m not usually a fan of coconuts or rice pudding, this Honey Coconut Lime Jasmine Rice Pudding exactly looks super yummy. I think I might have to give coconuts and rice pudding a second chance!

    Rice pudding is a lovely dessert and it’s quite filling as well so you really have to leave room for it. I would love to prepare this for the kids, I’m not sure if they’ve tried this kind of rice pudding before!
