Jamaican Cornmeal Porridge

Ingredients

• 4 cup water
• 380 g coconut milk
• 1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
• 1½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ground allspice
• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk

Steps

1. Combine 2.5 cups water and coconut milk in a heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup cornmeal with the remaining 1.5 cups water until smooth.
3. Once the pot boils, slowly whisk in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring no lumps, and continue whisking for about 1 minute.
4. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk.
7. Serve warm and enjoy.
