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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the black glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This typically takes 3-4 washes.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
While the rice is cooking, peel the ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Step 5
Once the rice has softened and the mixture has thickened to a porridge consistency, remove the pandan leaves.
Step 6
Stir in the mashed bananas, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine, making sure the bananas are evenly distributed throughout the dessert.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Taste and adjust for salt or sweetness by adding a little water if needed, for a thinner consistency.
Step 9
Serve warm or chilled, dividing the dessert into 4 servings. Enjoy this naturally sweetened, sugar-free treat!
