Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 2 cups Coconut milk
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional, for topping)
- 1 cup Fresh mango or berries (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Stir to mix well.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Step 4
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly.
Step 6
Let the coconut rice cool slightly, allowing it to thicken further as it rests.
Step 7
Spoon the coconut rice into serving bowls. If desired, top with shredded coconut, fresh mango slices, or berries for added texture and flavor.
Step 8
Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Enjoy your creamy, tropical Coconut Rice Dessert!
