Made this. Loved it. Only gave it 4 stars because it's not the prettiest but dang was it tasty. A healthy alternative to baked rice. We used 1/4C honey instead of sugar and home made coconut milk. nom nom nom. It made quite a bit so we will freeze some for the two of us to enjoy later. Bon Appetite!

I made this Island Rice Pudding as an add on side for both a wedding shower & baby shower & people raved. Only difference - I used cocconut creme instead of milk, soaked my raisins in Bacardi's light rum & drained, & added along with papaya fresh pineapple pieces. 2 very smart tricks you did - one, you used Arborio rice (perfect short grain with creamy results - best rice for rissotto also) 2nd the fresh ginger was KEY, nice move!! Enjoyed immensely!

I took evelyn/athens tip & substituted coconut milk for the regular milk in this recipe, then pretty much followed the recipe on down, although I did cut it in half, & I used golden raisins! GREAT TASTING RICE PUDDING, what with the nice combo of raisins, coconut & papaya! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

FABULOUS~!!! A keeper for sure. After the first 15 minutes, my rice was pretty much cooked. So I just added 1 cup of light coconut milk and let it absorb while I added the rest of the ingredients. Since others had said they didn't care for the papaya, I simply did a sprinkling of papaya on top and it was PERFECT!!! I also subbed Splenda for the sugar and used only 1/4 cup. I can't wait to taste this after it sits for a couple hours.

this was so good! I used coconut milk instead of milk and got loads of flavour in the rice. Loved the spark of the fresh ginger. I used both papaya and carambola (star fruit) to decorate.
