Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Butter a round pan about 20 cm in diameter.
Blend the cooked rice with half the coconut milk until you get a smooth batter.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until pale, about 3 minutes.
Gently fold in the rice purée, the remaining coconut milk, the vanilla, salt and grated coconut.
Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden and a knife comes out dry.
Let it cool for 15 minutes before unmolding, then cut into slices.
