Ingredients
2 tablespoons milk
1 large egg yolk
2 ¾ cups milk
1 cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
⅓ cup Arborio rice
¼ cup white sugar
salt to taste
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup finely diced mango
1 pinch Chinese five-spice powder
Directions
Beat 2 tablespoons milk with egg yolk in a small bowl. Set aside.
Combine 2 3/4 cups milk and coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat. When mixture just begins to steam, reduce heat to low.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in rice and cook for 1 minute. Pour in 1/2 cup coconut milk mixture; stir constantly until liquid is completely absorbed and rice is creamy. Repeat this process until milk mixture is completely incorporated and rice has a tender, yet slightly firm consistency, 20 to 30 minutes.
Stir sugar and salt into the rice mixture. Remove from heat. Slowly whisk in egg yolk mixture until completely incorporated and mixture is custard color, about 1 minute. Whisk in vanilla.
Cool pudding to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until well-chilled, at least 3 hours. Garnish with mango and Chinese five-spice powder.
