    Ingredients

    1. 4 cups Water
    2. 380g Coconut Milk
    3. 1 cup Fine Yellow Cornmeal
    4. 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

    6. 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
    7. 1/4 tsp Ground Allspice
    8. 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk

    How to prepare

    Add 2 ½ cups water, 1 can coconut milk to a 4 QT heavy bottomed pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, add 1 cup cornmeal and 1 ½ cup water to a large mixing cup and whisk until smooth. Once the pot begins to boil, whisk in cornmeal mixture and continue to whisk for about 1 minute, ensuring there are no lumps. Reduce heat to low and cover with a tight fitting lid. Cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. When there is about 5 minutes left, stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and all-spice. Remove from heat and sweeten with condensed milk. Serve and enjoy.
