Ingredients

  • 2 sprays nonstick cooking spray

  • 4 cups whole milk

  • 2 cups unsweetened canned coconut milk*

  • 2 cups jasmine rice

  • 2 cups blueberries

  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

  • 1 cup unsweetened canned coconut milk*

  • 2/3 cup shredded coconut, toasted**

  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds

  • 1 cup fresh berries

Directions

Pressure Cooker

  1. In a 6-qt. electric or stove-top pressure cooker combine whole milk, coconut milk, and rice. Lock lid in place. Set an electric cooker on high pressure to cook 10 minutes. Fora stove-top cooker, bring up to pressure over medium-high heat; reduce heat enough to maintain steady (but not excessive) pressure. Cook 10 minutes. Remove from heat. For both models, let stand 15 minutes to release pressure naturally. Release remaining pressure. Open lid carefully. Gently fold in 2 cups berries, honey, and vanilla. If desired, stir in additional coconut milk. Serve warm topped with coconut, almonds, and additional berries. 

Slow Cooker

  1. Lightly coat the inside of a 3½- to 4-qt. slow cooker with cooking spray. In the cooker combine whole milk, 2 cups coconut milk, and the rice. Cover and cook on low 3 to 3½ hours or high 1½ hours or until rice is tender, stirring toward the end of cooking. Gently fold in 2 cups berries, honey, and vanilla. If desired, stir in additional coconut milk. Serve warm topped with coconut, almonds, and additional berries. 


*Canned coconut milk: Thoroughly stir coconut milk before measuring as the fat and milk separate in the can. 

**Toasted coconut: Spread coconut evenly on shallow baking pan. Bake about 10 minutes in 350ºF oven, stirring every 3 minutes until toasted and golden.
