- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 3 cinnamon sticks or 1½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon

Step 2: Cooking
- Take the saucepan to the stove and boil covered over medium-low heat until the grains of rice have nearly tripled in size or until the liquids have reduced and it's creamy and thick. Stir often.Stir often to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom and scorching.
Step 3: Remove from the heat
- Remove from the heat and pour into a glass bowl, stir until it has cooled to room temperature.Pour into a broiler-safe baking pan, cover with aluminum foil and chill in the refrigerator (the aluminum foil will prevent it from over-drying in the fridge.
Step 4: Serving
- Remove the aluminum foil. Sprinkle cane sugar on top and burn the sugar with a torch, or place in the broiler over high heat until the sugar caramelizes.Serve immediately.
Cook's notes
If you use dry coconut, add an extra cup of coconut milk.
If you only find sweetened coconut cream, reduce the sugar by half.
