Micocole

Prepare the Cornmeal Mixture

In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil.

Gradually add the cornmeal to the boiling water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Cook the Cornmeal

Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the cornmeal thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

Add Coconut Milk and Flavorings

Stir in the coconut milk, sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and grated coconut (if using).

Continue to cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and creamy, about 10 more minutes.

Add Nutmeg (Optional)

If using, stir in the ground nutmeg.

Serve

Pour the micocole into serving bowls and let it cool slightly before serving.
