This is basically a pina colada: good old rice pudding given a makeover and taken out for a night on the town.
Rinse the pudding rice in a sieve under a running cold tap.
Pour the coconut milk and whole milk into a large saucepan and add the sugar. Snip the vanilla pod, if using, into a few pieces and add these to the pan. Bring slowly to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar and amalgamate the coconut milk.
Add the rice and cook gently over a very low heat, barely allowing it to simmer and stirring often, until the rice is swollen and tender and the mixture has the texture of a very loose risotto. This should take about 45 minutes. It will thicken more as it cools.
Remove the pieces of vanilla pod if using. Transfer the rice pudding to a dish and leave to cool completely, stirring now and then to prevent a skin forming. When cold, cover and chill in the fridge for at least a couple of hours.
Meanwhile, cut the pineapple into bitesized chunks, discarding the core. Combine the pineapple, rum and brown sugar in a bowl, cover and leave to macerate in the fridge until ready to serve.
Serve the rice pudding in bowls with a generous spoonful of the pineapple and its runny juices.
Variations:
For a lighter, less rich and slightly less coconutty version of this pud, you can cook the rice with just 1 tin of coconut milk and 600ml whole or semis skimmmed milk. Try topping with other tropical fruits too.
