Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cornmeal
- 500 milliliters Water
- 400 milliliters Coconut milk
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter.
In a large saucepan, bring the water to a light boil and add a pinch of salt.
Slowly whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the cornmeal for 5 minutes, stirring frequently until it thickens.
Stir in the coconut milk, brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon until fully combined. Continue stirring over low heat for another 5 minutes.
Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a comforting side dish or a lightly sweetened dessert.
