Majarete

Combine evaporated milk, water, rice flour, salt, sugar, cinnamon stick and zest in a medium size heavy saucepan. Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to boil. Reduce heat to medium. Add the butter. Remove from heat. Get rid of the cinnamon stick and peel.

Pour the majarete in individual dessert dishes. Cool slightly before putting them in the refrigerator until chilled. Sprinkle with cinnamon before serving if you wish.

Note: you can use, instead of water, 1 cup coconut milk or coconut water.
