This one-pot dessert has a short ingredient list, takes just 35 minutes to make, and delivers unique not-too-sweet flavor. A combination of whole milk and coconut milk (an entire can, so you’re not left with pesky dregs) makes for a creamy and rich pudding. The rice is tender but not mushy, and coconut is present but not overwhelming. Any leftovers will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for several days, perfect for enjoying hot or cold. Top with chopped mango per the recipe, or branch out and try toasted coconut, your favorite toasted nut, or even granola (breakfast, anyone?).

The best part about this creamy dish? It can be served hot, room temperature, or chilled, and it’s great eaten at any time of day. The rice is tender but not mushy, and the coconut flavor is present, but not overwhelming. We like serving it with toasted nuts, or chopped kiwi. **Get the recipe:**Coconut Rice Pudding.
