  1. Place all the coconut milk, whole milk and cinnamon sticks in a saucepan and heat up over medium heat.
  2. Meanwhile combine the rice flour with the sugar in a bowl.
  3. Gradually add the dry mixture to the saucepan, whisking thoroughly to prevent lumps from forming. Add a pinch of salt for a balanced flavor.
  4. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens to a creamy pudding.
  5. Take the Majarete Boricua pudding off the heat and let it cool slightly before pouring into either a large container or smaller individual serving bowls/glasses and chill inn the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before serving.
