👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear; drain well.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the water is almost absorbed.
3. Stir in the full-fat coconut milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Continue to simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency and the rice is tender.
5. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving warm, or chill completely for a cold dessert. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or fresh fruit if desired.
