Every time I make this Strawberry Coconut Rice Pudding, I’m reminded of lazy summer weekends spent with family. It’s such a simple recipe, yet the flavors are so vibrant and fresh. I like to use jasmine rice for an aromatic touch, and the hints of coconut milk add a unique creaminess that regular milk just can’t replicate.

One tip I’ve learned is to let the pudding cool slightly before adding the strawberries to keep their bright color and fresh texture intact. This recipe is all about balance—the richness of coconut complements the fruit perfectly, making it an irresistible treat!
