My Favorite Dessert

This recipe is one of my all time favorites in the whole wide world. Some how my Mom and I both came up with the same idea but never told each other about it. I call it Rice Ice Pudding. Here is how the recipe goes.
Serving size 2 people
1 cup sticky white rice
2 cups water
Vanilla Ice Cream
Coconut
Cinnamon (Optional)
Directions:
1. Combine 1 cup rice with 2 cups water in a rice cooker. This usually does not take very long especially when it is a small quantity!
2. Wait for the rice to cook all the way through. While waiting in a small sauce pan on low heat put coconut and toast lightly.
3. Once the rice is cooked. Scoop out into an ice cream container (for some reason I think it personally taste better in a fancy dish) :). Scoop desired amount of ice cream on top. Then top with toasted coconut. If you desire Cinnamon can be sprinkled on.
Personal Suggestion:
If it is just you still make 1 cup of rice because heating up the rice is so easy. Heat it up on the stove top and not the microwave that way the rice will crisp up a little bit and then it will have some crunch to it. I hope that you enjoy!
