Black rice and coconut pudding with caramel bananas

1.For rice crisps, cook jasmine rice in a saucepan of boiling water until tender (10-12 minutes), drain and pat dry on paper towels. Spread on a tray and stand at room temperature overnight to dry out. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat to 180C, then deep-fry rice until puffed and golden (1-2 minutes). Drain in a heatproof sieve then on paper towels and set aside.

2.Drain rice then simmer with coconut milk, vanilla bean and seeds and 250ml water in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender (30-35 minutes). Stir in coconut sugar and a pinch of salt and set aside.

3.For caramel bananas, scatter sugar evenly in the base of a frying pan, press cut-side of bananas into coconut sugar to cover evenly, then cook over medium-high heat until caramelised (3-4 minutes). Remove bananas from pan and set aside. Add coconut milk to pan, stir to combine and simmer until a sauce forms (2-3 minutes).

4.To serve, divide rice pudding among bowls, top with caramel bananas and drizzle with coconut caramel sauce. Serve with extra coconut cream and rice crisps.
