This coconut brown rice pudding recipe is sponsored by Success Rice but all opinions expressed are my own.

Brown rice is a much better choice in our diet than white rice if you are looking to increase your fiber intake.  It isn’t always easy to include brown rice in my diet, however, for a couple of reasons.  If you ask my kids what their favorite type of rice is they will tell you that it is white rice with plenty of butter on it.  While they will eat brown rice now as teenagers, it definitely took a while before they really got used to the slightly chewier texture.  One of the other reasons that brown rice is harder to use in my cooking than white rice is that it takes SOOOO much longer to cook!  In my steamer it takes an HOUR to cook a batch of brown rice!  To be honest, I don’t always think that far ahead when it comes to making dinner.  Some days I hear the garage door open signalling that my husband is home and I have not thought about dinner at all yet.

When I got the chance to work with Success Rice to try out their Boil in Bag varieties of rice I decided to see whether I could replace the white rice in one of my recipes with brown rice.  This coconut brown rice pudding recipe is a great way to get kids to eat more brown rice (and as a result, more fiber!) without a single complaint at all.  Normally I could not use brown rice in this recipe because it takes too long to cook but by using the Success Rice that is already precooked it made it the perfect high fiber addition to a classic dessert.

Note:  I used Simple Truth coconut milk that I bought in the refrigerated section that was 8% fat.  You may get different results with different brands or if you use a lower fat version.

Serves: 6 to 8

Ingredients

• 2 bags Success Boil in Bag brown rice
• 3 cups coconut milk
• pinch salt
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• ⅓ cup shredded sweetened coconut
• ⅓ cup dried fruit
• 2 tsp vanilla

Instructions

2. Over medium high heat while stirring frequently bring the rice mixture to a boil. Turn down heat and simmer until tender (about 20 minutes). Much of the coconut milk will be absorbed. If you find that it is getting too dry you can add a little more coconut milk and continue cooking
3. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brown sugar
4. When rice is tender, remove pan from heat. Slowly whisk in about 1 cup of the mixture into the sugar/egg. When combined, add the mixture back into the rest of the rice/coconut milk slowly while stirring briskly.
5. Place pan back on medium heat and cook until thickened.
6. Remove pan from heat and add in the vanilla, coconut and dried fruit. Stir until combined.
7. Serve warm or chilled. You can drizzle a little bit more coconut milk over the top right before serving if desired.

I love being able to use Success Brown Rice in this dish.  Regular brown rice would not work because it would have to cook for far too long.  The Success Boil in Bag brown rice cooked perfectly in my rice pudding recipe and was a delicious way to increase our intake of brown rice.  Success® Rice is the ORIGINAL no mess, no measure boil-in-bag rice that cooks perfectly every time and is ready in less than 10 minutes. The white and brown rice can sit for up to 30 minutes before being served, making it foolproof.  If you are looking for new ways to include this brown rice in your diet, check out www.successrice.com for quick and easy recipes you can make any day of the week.  You can also like the Success® Rice Facebook page for more recipes and lifestyle tips to make mealtimes easier and more fun.
