Ingredients

• 1 cup rice, white
• 1 can coconut milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon, ground

Instructions

1. Combine the white rice, coconut milk, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes. Stir the mixture occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and to ensure even cooking.
3. When the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened to a creamy consistency, remove the saucepan from heat.
4. Stir the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon into the hot pudding until well combined.
5. Allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes. Then, serve warm, or let it chill in the refrigerator if preferred. Garnish with a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon or toasted coconut flakes before serving.
