Ingredients
  • 2-1/2 cups Coconut Milk or milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup Water to add to the milk
  • 1/2 cup Cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup Water to dilute cornmeal
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • 2 tsp. Vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon ground
  • 1/2 tsp. Nutmeg grated
  • 1/4 cup Condensed Milk or sweetener of choice
Instructions

  1. Measure out all ingredients and set aside.

  2. Using a medium deep pot on medium heat, place milk, 1/2 cup of water and salt. Stir and wait until hot but not boiling.

  3. Dilute cornmeal with 1/2 cup water. When milk is hot, add cornmeal mixture and keep stirring until starts to thicken (about 5 minutes). Turn heat to low.

  4. Add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and condensed milk. Stir, adjust to desired consistency.

Recipe Notes

*Best served immediately as it will continue to thicken as it cools.

*If needs to be re-heated, more liquid may be added.
