Sombi
Senegalese coconut rice pudding simmered with brown sugar, vanilla and lime.
About Sombi
Sombi is a Senegalese coconut rice pudding served as a sweet dessert. This profile follows Saveur’s version with coconut milk, fresh coconut, light brown sugar, vanilla and lime.
Coconut milk and grated coconut give the pudding a rich tropical sweetness, deepened by light brown sugar and fragrant vanilla. Lime juice adds a clean tart edge that keeps the finish bright.
The pudding is pale cream, thick and spoonable, with soft rice grains and fine coconut throughout. Chilling sets it into a cohesive but still creamy texture.
