Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups glutinous rice
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing
Instructions
Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and coconut milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use the butter to grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
Once the rice is cooked, remove the pan from heat. Stir in the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, chopped dark chocolate, vanilla extract, and salt until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well blended.
Transfer the rice mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to evenly spread and press it down gently.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges start to crisp slightly and the surface looks set.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the dish for about 15 minutes.
Cut the cake into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade chocolate rice cake!
