Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown rice, light coconut milk, and 1 cup water.

  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the rice is still firm, add a splash of water and simmer a few minutes longer.

  3. Stir in the shredded coconut, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until evenly combined.

  4. Pour in the evaporated milk and stir gently. Simmer uncovered on low for 3 minutes, stirring often so it does not stick.

  5. Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand 5 minutes to thicken. Serve warm, or chill before serving cold.
