Coconut-Mango Rice Pudding Recipe

Notes: This recipe calls for unsweetened coconut milk, not cream of coconut—don't mix them up!

The rice needs to be completely cooled before folding in the whipped cream, otherwise it will turn to liquid. Spreading the warm rice pudding out in a large baking dish or rimmed baking sheet dramatically speeds up cooling.

Frozen (and thawed) mangoes are an acceptable substitute.
