I served this for dessert after a family BBQ and everyone including me absolutely loved it:
2 C water
2 inches cinnamon stick
2 inche strip of lime peel 3/4" wide
1 C uncooked long grain white rice
1 qt milk
3/4 C sugar
1/4 tsp salt
4 egg yolks lightly beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 C shredded coconut
1 tbsp butter, cut up
ground cinnamon
Bring water to a boil, add cinnamon and lime peel. Simmer 5 minutes covered. Add rice, cook covered for about 20 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
Stir in milk sugar and salt. Simmer over medium low stirring frequently for 40 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, discard cinnamon stick and lime peel.
Combine egg yolks and vanilla in a bowl. Spoon some of the hot rice into vanilla mixture and stir briefly. Stir mixture back into rice mixture with 1 1/4 C shredded coconut.
Put pudding in 2 qt square baking dish. Top with remaining coconut and butter. Broil a couple minutes until the coconut is golden brown.
Serve warm with mango ice cream or fresh mango slices in cinnamon and sugar.
