Ingredients
- 1 cup White rice
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1.5 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl with a capacity of at least 6 cups, combine the white rice, water, coconut milk, sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Stir the ingredients together until the sugar and salt have dissolved evenly.
Step 3
Cover the bowl lightly with a microwave-safe plate or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
Step 4
Microwave the mixture on high power for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the bowl carefully (it will be hot) and stir the rice to redistribute the liquid.
Step 5
Continue microwaving on medium power for an additional 5 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well. Let the rice sit for 5 minutes to thicken further as it cools slightly.
Step 7
Spoon the creamed rice into serving bowls, and if desired, garnish with shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
Step 8
Serve warm or let it cool and refrigerate to serve as a chilled dessert.
