A creamy and comforting rice pudding infused with coconut flavor, perfect for a cozy dessert or snack.

1 cup cooked white rice (short grain or jasmine)
1.5 cups coconut milk (full-fat)
0.5 cup whole milk (or plant-based milk)
0.25 cup sugar
0.25 tsp salt
0.5 tsp vanilla extract
0.25 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
pinch nutmeg (optional)
to taste optional toppings (toasted coconut flakes, chopped mango, sliced banana, crushed pistachios, maple syrup)

Combine coconut milk, whole milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan; heat until steaming (~3 min).
Add cooked rice; stir gently to break up clumps.
Simmer for 15-20 min, stirring often until thickened.
Stir in vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg; cook 2 min to blend flavors.
Remove from heat; let sit for 5 min to thicken. Serve warm or chilled with toppings.

For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and adjust toppings accordingly.
