Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons (1 ounce) desiccated unsweetened coconut, grated
- 1/2 cup white rice (3 1/2 ounces)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cardamon pods, seeds of, crushed seeds (111/2 oz/)
- 3 1/4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 24 ounces (two 14 ounce cans) full fat coconut milk
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 1/4 ounces white chocolate, roughly chopped
How to Make
-
Step 1: In a large deep saucepan, toast the desiccated coconut over a medium heat, stirring frequently until it starts to brown (BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN IT). Place the coconut into a bowl and set aside to serve.
-
Step 2: To the same saucepan, add the rice, butter and cardamom. Toast the rice in the butter, stirring frequently until the butter is just starting to brown and the rice is nicely coated. Stir in the sugar, then add the coconut milk, milk and vanilla bean paste. Bring to a simmer, then let the rice cook for 45-50 minutes until soft. You'll need to stir frequently so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. If the rice looks too thick at any point, just add another splash of milk.
-
Step 3: Once the rice is cooked, stir in the white chocolate. Serve with the toasted coconut.
-
Step 4: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of milk and heat gently in a pan.
