Coconut & Hemp, Rice Pudding with Spiced Pineapple
Nadia Lim is one of my Kiwi kitchen heroes & few things beat her Coconut Rice Pudding & Spiced pineapple. But I couldn’t help myself from involving hemp somehow. So this is my ‘Hemp-ified’ rice pudding based on Nadia Lim’s ‘AKA Kitchen Hero’s’ yummy recipe! Click on this link to check out the original and a great prep video.

1/3 cup Hemp Connect hemp hearts
1 ½ cup water
Spiced Pineapple:
1 Tbsp coconut oil

1 tspn ground cinnamon
Whole spices: 2 star anise, 1 cinnamon stick, or 3-4 cardamom pods (optional)
1 Tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
Hemp Milk
Simply blend the all the ingredients together, no need to sweeten the milk since the pudding itself is quite sweet

Remove from heat
Mix in the sweet stuff
Spiced Pineapple
Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan and medium heat
Add pineapple and spices, cook for around 5 minutes
Add brown sugar and coat the pineapple, cook for a further 2 minutes
