Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice, coconut milk, whole milk, sugar, and salt. Stir well to distribute all ingredients evenly.
Cook Mixture: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened to a creamy consistency.
Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and shredded sweetened coconut if using. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
Cool and Serve: Let the pudding cool slightly for a warm serving or refrigerate for a few hours to serve chilled. Before serving, top with additional ground cinnamon or toasted coconut if desired for added texture and flavor.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use all coconut milk or substitute almond milk for the whole milk.
Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less sugar according to preference.
Arborio rice can be used in place of jasmine rice for a creamier pudding texture.
Stir frequently during cooking to prevent the pudding from sticking and burning at the bottom.
This pudding can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days.
