Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, and water. Stir gently.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer.
  4. Cover the pan partially with a lid and cook for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
  5. While the rice is cooking, wash, peel, and finely dice the ripe mango or puree it until smooth, depending on your toddler's preference.
  6. Once the rice pudding is cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the diced or pureed mango, vanilla extract, and maple syrup if using. Add the ground cinnamon, if desired, and mix well.
  7. Allow the pudding to cool slightly to a safe serving temperature. The texture should be soft and creamy, perfect for little mouths.
  8. Serve warm or chilled, depending on your toddler's preference. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
