In a separate bowl, mix together 3/4 cup of coconut milk and 3/4 cup of evaporated milk.

Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of slab sugar to the milk mixture, adjusting sweetness to taste.

Add a little salt to the mixture and cook for another 30 to 45 minutes until the rice is the desired consistency.

Pour the milk mixture over the rice and whisk to combine, cooking for an additional 10 minutes on low heat until homogenized.

Serve warm or chill in the refrigerator overnight.
