Coconut cream is similar to coconut milk but is thicker and contains less water.

You could use plain basmati rice and 460ml double cream instead of a mixture of cream and coconut cream. Use 1 tsp vanilla extract instead of the spices and serve with a blob of raspberry jam for a nod to childhood puddings.
