Coconut Rice Pudding
Hot Links We’re Loving:

• Jasmine rice simmer in coconut milk to create this thick, dreamy  Coconut Rice Pudding What’s Cooking Good Looking then finishes it off with roasted cherries and a cascade of roasted coconut.

• Sandwiches naturally go with fries, so it seems natural that a loaded banh mi sandwich would be just as palatable reinvented as  i am a food blog's Banh Mi Fries. Top matchstick-thin fries with Chinese barbecued pork, pickled daikons and carrots, jalapeno, cilantro and a squirt of sriracha.

• Next time you have fresh, juicy strawberries on your hands, swaddle them in a lightly sweet, diaphanous homemade crêpe. Sweet Crêpes, courtesy of  Herriott Grace, are the perfect way to put your market haul to use, especially when drizzled with some pure maple syrup.

• Using just one mixing bowl and a cast-iron skillet, The Earthen Table conjures a Blueberry Oat Cake that's light and moist, not to mention vegan and gluten-free.

• What exactly adds the spice into these oozing Spiced Blackberry Hand Pies? In This Kitchen hits the fresh, fruity filling with cayenne to lay down some subtly sweet heat.
