Tropical Ginger Rice Pudding

Rice pudding has always been one of my favorite desserts but lately I've been eating it as a snack with many tropical goodies. This tropical rice pudding has a lovely ginger flavor that really goes well with pineapple, strawberries, bananas,  mango and many more. Enjoy :)
