Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh coconut milk
  • 1 cup palm sugar grated
  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • A pinch of salt
  • Pandan leaves for aroma optional

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour with water. Stir until a smooth batter is formed.
  • In a saucepan, heat coconut milk over medium heat. Add grated palm sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
  • Slowly pour the rice flour batter into the coconut milk mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
  • Add a pinch of salt for balance and, if desired, a few pandan leaves for a fragrant touch.
  • Continue stirring the mixture over low heat until it thickens to a custard-like consistency.
  • Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Prepare molds or a square pan by greasing them lightly.
  • Pour the mixture into the molds or pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
  • Once set, cut into desired shapes and serve chilled.
