Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup uncooked short-grain rice, 1 can full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup whole milk, and 3 tbsp sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-28 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes until rice is tender and mixture thickens to a creamy consistency (it should coat the back of a spoon).
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup diced mango. Cool for 15 minutes, then divide into 4 bowls.
  5. Step 5: Top each serving with 1/2 tbsp coconut flakes and serve warm or chilled.
