Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups (438ml/grams, 15.45 ounces) water, plus extra to rinse and soak the rice
  • 1 cup (210 grams, 7.41 ounces) white glutinous rice, also known as sticky rice
  • 1 ½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar or to taste
  • 3 ½ tablespoons (70 grams, 2.45 ounces) dark or milk chocolate roughly chopped
  • ½ cup (125ml/grams, 4.41 ounces) evaporated milk

Topping Ideas

  • Evaporated Milk
  • Fresh fruits such as banana strawberries, blueberries
  • Chopped peanuts
  • Chocolate chips or grated chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Wash and rinse the glutinous rice under room temperature water 2 to 3 times, until the water runs clear. Drain the water.
  • Soak the rice in room temperature water for at least 1 to 2 hours. Once soaked, drain excess water.
  • In a medium sized saucepan, place the water and rice over medium to high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Once at a boil, reduce the heat to low to bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through. See note 1.
    The rice should be soft and the mixture should thicken.
  • When the rice is cooked, turn off heat. Mix through the cocoa powder, sea salt, sugar and roughly chopped chocolate until the chocolate and sugar has melted and dissolved. Then mix through evaporated milk.
  • Serve warm or once cool, place in an air tight container and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or overnight.
    Top with extra evaporated milk and your choice of toppings.

Notes

If the rice is not fully cooked and the liquid has been absorbed, add a bit more water and continue to cook until the rice is cooked.
