Indulge guilt-free with this delightful Low Carb Pulut Hitam recipe, a modern spin on the traditional Malaysian black glutinous rice dessert. This healthier version substitutes carb-heavy grains with a blend of cauliflower rice and konjac rice, reducing the carbohydrate load while preserving the comforting porridge-like texture. Simmered with aromatic pandan leaves, sweetened with erythritol, and enriched with creamy coconut milk, this dish is brimming with tropical flavors, making it perfect for those on keto, low-carb, or gluten-free diets. Garnished with toasted coconut flakes for an irresistible crunch, itβs a wholesome treat served warm to satisfy your dessert cravings without compromise.
Rinse the black glutinous rice thoroughly under cold water, then soak in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Drain the soaked black glutinous rice and place it into a large saucepan with 500 milliliters of water and the pandan leaves.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the black glutinous rice has softened, add the cauliflower rice and konjac rice into the saucepan. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 10 minutes, ensuring the cauliflower rice becomes tender.
Add the coconut milk, erythritol sweetener, and a pinch of salt to the pan. Stir continuously and cook for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens to a porridge-like consistency.
Remove the pandan leaves and discard them.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Simmer for another few minutes if you prefer a thicker texture.
Ladle the Pulut Hitam into serving bowls and garnish with toasted coconut flakes before serving. Serve warm for the best flavor.
