Coconut Milk Rice
Coconut Milk Rice combines arborio rice cooked with water, whole milk, and unsweetened coconut milk infused with cinnamon, vanilla bean, sugar, almond extract, butter, and a pinch of salt. This slow-cooked rice pudding-like dish has a creamy, fragrant texture and a rich, sweet flavor with subtle spices, finished with a touch of egg yolk to enrich the custard-like consistency.
