Coconut rice pudding
Rice pudding is a fantastic dessert for adults as well as babies. Incredibly easy to make and suitable for all seasons. It is comforting, delicious and creamy and can be served rustic in bowls or beautifully in stemless wine glasses. The sugar can be replaced with a bit of honey and the milk can be replaced with almond milk, if desired.
