Ingredients

  • 3 cups Glutinous Sweet Rice
  • 1-2 cans Coconut Milk (13.5oz)
  • 1/2-1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions

Soak the Rice Overnight

  • Place the sweet rice in a bowl and cover with water. Soak at least 8 hours.

The Following Day

  • Preheat the oven to 350F
  • Drain the soaked rice and transfer it to a baking dish (8x8 or similar size).
  • In a bowl, mix the coconut milk and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  • Add the pinch of salt and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Add the vanilla and mix well.
  • Pour the coconut milk mixture evenly over the drained rice.
  • Bake for about 1 hour, or until the rice is tender and fully cooked. The top will caramelize slightly and form a rich, glossy latik layer.
  • Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
