Ingredients
1 cup short-grain white rice (or medium-grain)
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 (13.25 oz) can coconut milk
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
⅓ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon cinnamon
⅓ cup golden raisins (optional)
½ cup sweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Toasted shredded coconut (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the rice, whole milk, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover the pot with a lid.
Cook for 14 to 16 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and fully cooked.
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, and raisins (if using). Continue to cook over low heat until the mixture becomes creamy, about 12 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the shredded coconut. Let cool slightly and serve warm, or allow to cool completely and chill for a cold version.
Garnish with toasted shredded coconut if desired, and enjoy!
