In a small saucepan, on medium heat, add the coconut milk, vanilla, and sugar and reduce by 50 percent. In a bowl, mix the rice and reduce milk together. Form 4 cakes using damp hands. Press the cakes into the toasted coconut to coat both sides. Place the cakes in a steamer lined with banana leaves. Steam until hot, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, skewer the fruit to make satays. In a saute pan on high heat, add the butter and saute the satays until slightly colored. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully deglaze/flambe with rum. Return the pan to the heat and cook until alcohol evaporates, about 2 minutes. Remove satays and add cream to pan to make a sauce. On small plates, place one cake down and top with 2 satays. Drizzle on cream sauce.
