Craving More Coconut?
Here are some ideas about how to incorporate even more of the creamy goodness to your breakfast!
-Use coconut milk instead of water when you’re making your rice to get that hint of sweetness without losing the original texture.
-If you’re looking for a melt-in-your-mouth rice, boil coconut milk right into the grains instead of water or use half water. This will make your dish a creamy, slightly gooey treat!
-Toss in frozen coconut water or coconut milk cubes. Of course, frozen coconut water won’t be as sweet as it was fresh, and frozen coconut milk will have a bit of a grainy consistency. However, these alternatives will make your bowl sweeter and more refreshing without watering it down.
If you’re still not satisfied, you could whip up a Coconut Rice Pudding Milkshake to sip along with your breakfast bowl or try an Easy Rice Pudding Recipe with coconut milk and coconut shavings on top.
