This vegan coconut rice pudding brings cozy comfort with a golden twist, thanks to the vibrant flavors of Curio’s Zenú Spice. Rich coconut milk, jasmine rice, and warming spices create a creamy, fragrant dessert that’s both simple and indulgent. Inspired by South American arroz con leche, this version is naturally dairy-free and finished with toasted coconut and a sprinkle of Zenú Spice for added texture and flavor. Perfect for gatherings or a soothing sweet treat.
This vegan rice pudding is inspired by South American recipes, but we’ve added a Curio twist: Zenú Spice, which lends its lively flavor and a golden hue to this comforting favorite.
Ingredients
10 cups full-fat coconut milk (about six 14-ounce cans)
Put the coconut milk and salt into a large, heavy pot set over medium-high heat. Bring the milk to a boil, then add the rice. Stir once or twice and reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring frequently so the rice doesn’t stick, about 30 minutes.
Add the sugar and Zenú Spice to the pot and stir to combine and dissolve the sugar. Shut off the heat and let the pudding cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Serve warm or cool, garnish just before serving with toasted coconut and a pinch of Zenú Spice.
Recipe Note
Note: The pudding should be thick but creamy — to achieve that texture, trust that the pudding will thicken further as it cools!

Hi Jan, Susan from Curio Kitchen here. There are so many options! Any of our herb blends would be great in vegetable soups — and then from there, skies the limit. For example you might try Chili Today! (and our recipe for vegetarian chili). If you live locally, pop into the shop and we’ll load you up with more ideas, recipes, and you can smell the different blends. Happy cooking!
