Ingredients

  • 1 cup Coconut cream
  • 3 cups Coconut milk
  • 2 cups Glutinous rice
  • 1½ cups Water
  • 1 cup Dark brown sugar
  • ½ tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. Simmer coconut cream, stirring frequently, until the solids turn golden and release oil. Strain; reserve both curds and oil.
  2. Rinse and drain the rice. Bring it to a boil with the water, cover and cook on low until absorbed.
  3. Simmer coconut milk, sugar and salt in a wide nonstick pan until slightly reduced. Add rice and stir frequently for about 1 hour, until very sticky and pulling away from the sides.
  4. Grease an 8-by-5-inch dish with the reserved oil. Press in the rice, brush lightly with oil and top with coconut curds. Cool before cutting.
