4-6
ingredients
- 1 medium coconut
- 3 cups half-and-half
- 1⁄4 cup arborio rice, uncooked
- 1⁄3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 cup dark raisin
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 medium mango
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon butter, to butter dish
directions
- Puncture the soft top part of the coconut with a long nail or ice pick and drain liquid into a small dish or measuring cup.
- Crack the coconut using a hammer and separate the white meat from the shell. Peel off the thin brown skin; strain the reserved coconut liquid through a fine sieve to remove any impurities. Measure liquid, if there is not ½ cup of liquid additional water may be added to equal ½ cup. Using half the coconut meat (approximately 4 oz weight) puree the coconut with the liquid. This mixture should measure 1 cup approximately.
- Grate the remaining coconut with the medium blade of a food processor or on a medium hand grater, reserve ½ cup grated coconut and package the remaining and store in freezer or refrigerator for other uses.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees and butter a 2 quart oven proof casserole.
- Add the coconut slurry, half and half, rice, salt and brown sugar; place in preheated oven and bake for 2 hours making sure to stir every 30 minutes to prevent the rice from settling to the bottom.
- The last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the vanilla extract, raisins and ginger. Sprinkle with the reserved ½ cup grated coconut.
- While the pudding is cooking, peel and dice mango over blender jar to capture all the juices; add the lime juice and puree together in a blender. Pour into small dish, cover and refrigerate until serving time.
- Serve the pudding warm from the oven topped with a spoon or so of the mango puree.

I can truly say this was enjoyed by all. I am just crazy about the rice combination, but not so crazy about the Mango sauce. It just didn't seem to go with the rice. My son and friends that were visiting ate all the rice combo, but the sauce didn't go much at all. All in all a fantastic recipe and a good job by the chef in the RSC contest. I'm not real familiar with mangos, so I'm not sure I can judge the sauce correctly, so you be the judge. Thanks Paula

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
