Coconut Rice Pudding With Mango and Dark Rum.Connie Miller of CB Creatives
As the long slog of winter marches on, an easy way to perk up the day is with a tropical fruit dessert. From the Caribbean, we brighten a creamy coconut rice pudding with mango and give it complexity with dark rum. Charring fresh pineapple under the broiler develops rich caramelization that we top with spiced honey and coconut ice cream. Savory miso brings a unique savory-sweet update to bananas foster. And we show the sophisticated side of the classic pineapple upside-down cake with a sturdy buttermilk batter made with cornmeal and ricotta cheese.
