Ingredients

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9-inch baking dish by lightly buttering or coating with non-stick spray.
2
Drain the crushed pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice, and set both aside separately.
3
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and reserved pineapple juice over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
3 minutes
4
Remove the brown sugar mixture from heat and stir in the rum or rum extract; let cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
5
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and slightly pale.
6
Add the half and half and milk to the egg mixture, whisking until fully blended.
7
Gently fold in the cooked rice, drained pineapple, and the cooled brown sugar-rum mixture using a spatula until evenly distributed.
8
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the flaked coconut evenly over the top.
9
Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish (water bath).
10
Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, until the pudding is set but still slightly jiggly in the center when gently shaken.
