- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar
- 300 g cream cheese

Instructions
Boil the rice, water, coconut oil, cinnamon and coconut sugar. Let it boil until all the water has been absorbed.
Fold the cream cheese into the rice while it’s still warm. Mix in the agave nectar and blend thoroughly.
Pour into a 3-litre plastic bag with a zip lock. Flatten the bag and leave in the fridge overnight.
Take the bag out of the fridge and cut the rice mix into 5 cm x 5 cm squares. Wrap the squares in aluminium foil.

• Add pistachios or other nuts to add variety.
• Use a rice cooker if you’ve got one.
