Ingredients:

6 cobs of sweet corn
1 cup sweet rice
1½ cups of sugar

Coconut Sauce:
1 14 oz. can Savoy coconut cream
1 can water
1 tbsp. corn starch
1 tbsp. sugar
½ tsp. salt

Rice and Corn Pudding Preparation:

  1. Soak rice in water overnight.
  2. After rice has soaked, shuck the sweet corn and scrape the kernels off, making sure to scrape down to the cob so you collect a fair amount of juice from the corn.
  3. Put rice and corn together in a pot with 1 quart of water and cook on medium to medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil.
  4. Cook until rice becomes translucent (approx. 10-15 minutes) then add 1½ cups of sugar and cook for a couple more minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and cover for half an hour or so.
  6. Don’t worry if the mixture is a little watery at this point, covering it and letting it sit will give the rice a chance to expand and thicken.

Coconut Sauce Preparation:

  1. Pour the contents of the can of coconut cream into a small saucepan and heat on medium-high heat.
  2. While this is warming up, mix the cornstarch, sugar and salt with 1 can (the 14 oz. coconut cream can) of water until dissolved.
  3. Add this mixture to the saucepan and stir continuously with a wooden spoon until it comes to a boil and starts to thicken.
  4. Remove from heat.

Your sweet corn rice pudding is ready to serve! Scoop pudding into a bowl, cover with coconut cream and enjoy; or refrigerate and serve cold later.

    Hi Tammy,
    I’m really excited to try out the recipe. Corn is in season right now so it will be great to use fresh corn right from the farms in Ohio. I will share the corn pudding along with your amazing recipe with my friends. Love, Fong
