Coconut rice pudding
Heat the 2% milk and the Haiku coconut milk with half of the sugar and the lemongrass. Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat and add the arborio rice along with the other half of the sugar. With a rubber spatula stir the rice often, to avoid the rice sticking to the bottom of the pot. The cooking time should be approximately 35 minutes, it is ready when all of the milk has been absorbed by the rice. Once done, remove the lemongrass and transfer the rice to a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap to cool it faster.

Crème anglaise
Place the gelatine sheets in cold water to rehydrate, set aside.
Heat the milk in a saucepot.
In another saucepot, off the heat, whip the egg yolks with the sugar until they turn a soft white. Slowly incorporate the hot milk to the egg and sugar mixture.
Once fully mixed, heat the liquid at low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to desired consistency.
Squeeze the excess water from the gelatine sheets you hydrated earlier and add them to the sauce and stir to encorporate.
Refrigerate.

Haiku whipped coconut cream
Whip the 35% cream in a bowl until the desired consistency, usually when peaks can be formed. Once peaks form, encorporate the coconut cream. Refrigerate.
