Candied Rice Pudding is a caribbean dessert mostly prepared at Christmas. Here is a recipe:

- 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk (pref. Coco Lopez)
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 6 whole cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
Directions
- Cook the rice with water according to package directions until the liquid has just been absorbed (rice will not be thoroughly cooked). Remove from heat.
- Warm the three milks with the cinnamon stick, cloves and ginger over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the milk, raisins and shredded coconut to the rice and simmer until the rice is soft, about 10-15 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and cloves.
