  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups canned coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp butteruse plant-based butter for vegan/dairy-free

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water and drain.
  2. In a slow cooker, combine the rice, coconut milk, sugar, butter, and pandan leaf. Stir well.
  3. Cook on high for 3 hours, or on low for 5 hours until the rice is tender and creamy.
  4. About 30 minutes before the rice pudding is done, check the consistency. If it seems too thick, stir in a little coconut water (or regular water) to loosen it up. If it’s still too runny, let it cook a bit longer. Adjust as needed to get the perfect creamy texture!
  5. Remove the pandan leaf, stir to mix evenly, and adjust sweetness if needed.
  6. Serve warm or chilled with your choice of toppings such as cinnamon, cacao, or fruit.
