6. Divide the Rice Pudding between 4 serving bowls. Top with the Butterscotch Bananas and the coconut flakes.

Tips:

• This can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, or the freezer for 1 month.

• On resting, the rice pudding will turn hard and gluggy, so just add back into a saucepan with 1/4 cup of water and warm through before serving.
