Coconut Milk Rice Dessert for 8 Servings

Instructions:

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups (480ml) of water in a medium saucepan.
2. Bring the rice and water to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the water is fully absorbed and the grains are tender.
3. Remove the lid and stir in the full-fat coconut milk, coconut sugar, and sea salt.
4. Stir constantly over medium-low heat to ensure the sugar dissolves completely until the mixture is a thick, ivory-colored cream.
5. Continue to simmer uncovered for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until the dessert reaches a velvety, porridge-like consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for a fragrant finish.
