From 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.
