Ingredients:
- 1 cup jasmine or Arborio rice
- 3 ½ cups organic coconut milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- pinch of salt

Directions:
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear (about 2-3 times), then drain well.
In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let the rice mixture simmer slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice pudding cool slightly.
If desired, transfer the rice pudding to serving bowls or glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill before serving.
Just before serving, sprinkle some natural-colored rainbow sprinkles over the chilled rice pudding for a pop of color and added sweetness.
