Ingredients
- 200 grams Palm sugar
- 250 ml Coconut milk
- 150 grams Rice flour
- 50 grams Tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Grated fresh coconut (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the steaming setup by bringing a steamer to a boil and making sure to have small bowls or molds ready for the pudding.
Step 2
In a saucepan, heat the palm sugar with 100 ml of coconut milk over low heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca flour, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually add the cooled palm sugar mixture and the remaining coconut milk into the dry ingredients. Stir well to create a smooth batter with no lumps.
Step 5
Strain the batter through a fine sieve to ensure a consistent, silky texture.
Step 6
Pour the batter into small bowls or molds, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for expansion during steaming.
Step 7
Place the molds into the preheated steamer, cover with the lid, and steam over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the puddings are set and firm. You can check by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the molds from the steamer and allow the puddings to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Step 9
Optionally, garnish with freshly grated coconut before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful dessert.
