Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 2 cups Coconut milk
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional, for topping)
- 1 cup Fresh mango or berries (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Stir to mix well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly.
Let the coconut rice cool slightly, allowing it to thicken further as it rests.
Spoon the coconut rice into serving bowls. If desired, top with shredded coconut, fresh mango slices, or berries for added texture and flavor.
Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Enjoy your creamy, tropical Coconut Rice Dessert!
