Sweet Coconut Rice

I am not into being fussy about some recipes and I'm not about to steam my rice when I hardly have time to do anything around the house that I want to do.  So, with that said, here is the recipe of how I made sweet coconut rice, and it turned out pretty good, probably too good.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups of white rice (soaked for 1 hour and rinsed)

1 can coconut milk

1 cup coconut cream

1 tsp salt

1 cup water

1 cup sugar

METHOD

Cover the rice with water and let it soak for at least an hour, or overnight (put water over the rice a couple inches.)  When the rice is done resting, drain the water and rinse the rice until the water is clear.  Place sugar, salt, coconut milk and water in a pot on the stove, over medium heat,  When the sugar is dissolved, add the rice, bring to a light boil, cover and remove from heat.  Let the rice rest for 20 minutes, add the cream, and serve warm with sliced mangos.
