Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams black glutinous rice
- 1500 ml water
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 2 pieces pandan leaves
- 2 medium ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Rinse the black glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This typically takes 3-4 washes.
In a large pot, combine the rinsed black glutinous rice with 1500 ml of water. Add the pandan leaves by tying them into a knot to release their fragrance.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 60-70 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
While the rice is cooking, peel the ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Once the rice has softened and the mixture has thickened to a porridge consistency, remove the pandan leaves.
Stir in the mashed bananas, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine, making sure the bananas are evenly distributed throughout the dessert.
Add coconut milk and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. The coconut milk will give the dessert its creamy texture and additional natural sweetness.
Taste and adjust for salt or sweetness by adding a little water if needed, for a thinner consistency.
Serve warm or chilled, dividing the dessert into 4 servings. Enjoy this naturally sweetened, sugar-free treat!
