Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 2 cups Coconut milk
- 1 cup Water
- 0.333 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain it.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid, leaving it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.
Cook the rice pudding for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly and thicken further.
Spoon the coconut rice pudding into serving bowls. Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and shredded coconut, if desired.
Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
