INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a small pot, combine the rice, coconut milk, and 1 1/2 cups of water. heat to boiling on high and then reduce heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover, and allow to the rice simmer about 20 minutes while you continue cooking. Once all of the liquid has been absorbed, remove from the heat and set aside.

3. On separate baking sheets, sprinkle the coconut flakes and cashews in an even layer. Toast the coconut flakes about 1 minute or until golden brown, watching closely. Be careful not to burn them. Meanwhile toast the cashews 1 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
