Creamy Coconut Jasmine Rice Pudding with Lychees | Claire Saffitz

This coconut jasmine rice pudding with lychees is a rich, creamy dessert that’s entirely gluten-free and dairy-free, but doesn’t sacrifice flavor or texture. Made with full-fat coconut milk, jasmine rice, and an infusion of jasmine tea, it has a subtle floral depth that sets it apart from a traditional rice pudding. If you’ve been looking for: • a rice pudding that’s actually worth making • a dairy-free dessert that still feels indulgent • or a simple, elegant dessert for a dinner party this is one I keep coming back to. The lychees in syrup add brightness and contrast, balancing the richness of the coconut milk, while toasted coconut chips bring texture. It’s comforting, but just structured enough to feel special. #ricepudding #dessert #clairesaffitz 2 (13.5 oz / 400ml) cans unsweetened full-fat coconut milk (not light coconut milk) 1 cup jasmine rice (6.8 oz / 193g) 2 cups unsweetened plain rice milk (16 oz / 480g) ½ cup sugar (3.5 oz / 100g) 1½ teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 jasmine green tea bags 1¼ cups (10 oz / 284g) boiling water 1 (15 oz / 425g) can lychees in syrup ½ cup unsweetened toasted coconut chips (1.2 oz / 35g), for serving Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:33 Rice Pudding 01:24 Ingredients & Special Equipment 03:20 Cook the Pudding 10:35 Make the Topping 11:44 Serve What's for Dessert by Claire Saffitz is out now: https://geni.us/WjcIbfp Dessert Person Online: https://www.dessertperson.com/ Claire on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/csaffitz/?h… Claire Merchandise: https://www.dessertperson.com/buystuff Penguin Random House Books: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/ Video Series: Producer/Director: Vincent Cross Camera Operator: Calvin Robertson Editor/Motion Graphics: Hal McFall Animation Credits: Character Designer/Animator/Backgrounds: Jack Sherry Character Rigger: Johara Dutton
