Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup short-grain white rice
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 (13.25 ounces / 375 grams) can coconut milk
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
Dairy and Cream:
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
Spices and Optional Toppings:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅓ cup golden raisins
- ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions
- Combine rice, whole milk, and coconut milk in a large pot, heating over medium-high flame until the liquid reaches a vigorous boil.
- Immediately lower the temperature to a gentle simmer, covering the pot with a tight-fitting lid to trap steam and moisture.
- Allow the rice to absorb the liquid, stirring periodically to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking, until the grains become tender and fully cooked.
- Introduce sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, ground cinnamon, and optional raisins into the mixture, continuing to cook on low heat.
- Gently stir the ingredients, watching the consistency transform into a rich, creamy texture with a luxurious sheen.
- Remove the pot from the heat source and fold in shredded coconut, distributing it evenly throughout the pudding.
- Let the pudding rest for a few minutes to slightly cool and allow flavors to meld together.
- Serve immediately while warm for a comforting dessert, or refrigerate for a refreshing chilled version.
- Optional: Sprinkle toasted shredded coconut on top for an added layer of flavor and textural contrast before serving.
