Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear, then drain it.
  2. In a saucepan, bring the whole milk, coconut milk, the cinnamon stick and a pinch of salt to a gentle simmer.
  3. Add the rice and cook over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring regularly so it doesn't stick.
  4. Stir in the sugar, raisins and vanilla, then cook for another 10 minutes until creamy.
  5. Remove the cinnamon stick, dust with nutmeg and serve warm or cold.

Variations and tips

Dairy-free version. Replace the whole milk with extra coconut milk for a fully plant-based dessert.

Using what's available. Round risotto rice works very well and gives an even creamier texture.
