Instructions

  • Cook 2 cups of rice in your rice cooker. I made mine the day before. Heat up a large pot and keep setting on low heat. Once the pot is hot, add in whole milk, evaporated milk and vanilla extract. Keep on low heat. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Then add cinnamon sticks. Boil on low heat for 5 minutes. Remove cinnamon sticks.
  • Stir in 1 cup of coconut cream (can use condensed milk instead. Start with half a can and add more to taste). Add in cooked rice. Put on low heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve warm in small bowls and garnish with a dash of cinnamon and toasted coconut flakes. Enjoy!
