Coconut and Lime Rice Pudding
If you want to eat this dish warm, follow the directions as is. If you like a looser, creamier pudding or want to chill it, add in the remaining coconut milk or use a bit more milk when bringing the mixture to a boil. This pudding firms up really well after sitting or chilling.

1/3 c arborio rice
1/2 14 oz can of light coconut milk
2 cups milk (non-dairy milk is fine)
3 tablespoons evaporated cane sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
zest from 1 lime
1/4 cup shredded coconut

In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the rice, coconut milk, milk, sugar, vanilla and lime zest to a boil. Turn down heat to low and let simmer uncovered for 25-35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat when mixture thickens and rice is soft.

Heat shredded coconut in a small pan over medium heat – watch it, stirring often as it can burn in an instant. When coconut is golden brown, remove from pan immediately.

Spoon out rice pudding into 4 small dessert bowls and top with toasted coconut.

NMRKT FEATURES THE BOW BAG

We are loving the new NMRKT movie which features our very own "Bow" bag (aka "the vegan"). If you haven't heard of NMRKT, they are one of the hottest new online retail sites and their original ideas and creative marketing skills definitely set them apart from the rest. What they are known for best is creating short films that showcase all of the products that they carry. This gives the consumer a real idea of how the pieces will look and function in real life, which is something that most retail sites lack. The "Bow" is also available for purchase on the NMRKT website alongside some other cool designer goods so definitely check it out!

Please find the latest NMRKT video below and see if you can spot the "Bow"!
