Vietnamese Coffee Rice Pudding Recipe

I love the flavour of Vietnamese Coffee, strong coffee filtered on top of a rich layer of condensed milk, the combination is just dreamy. This recipe for Vietnamese Coffee Rice Pudding is a decadent rice pudding with Vietnamese coffee-infused condensed milk base and brûléed top. The brûléed top gives a great crunch to the soft creamy pudding beneath.

Vietnamese coffee is traditionally roasted to medium or dark roast, having flavours of chocolate and caramel. If you can’t get hold of Vietnamese coffee, look for a coffee that has a dark roast profile to get the coffee profile for this pudding.

Pudding rice is a short-grain white rice specifically for rice pudding as is starchy sticky rice, it’s easily found in the UK in supermarkets and health food shops, however, if you struggle to find it, it can be substituted for arborio rice but will be slightly firmer than using pudding rice.

For the brûléed top, a chef’s blow torch is the tool you want to achieve the perfect crunchy tops, you can grill them but you run the risk of uneven cooking and burning in places. Also, blowtorches are great fun! As long as you are sensible, there’s nothing to be scared of caramelising the sugar top!
