Number Of Ingredients 9

13 1/2 oz can coconut milk
5 c water
3/4 c sweet glutinous rice (you may sub sushi rice or short-grain rice)
3/4 c sugar
pinch salt
1/2 c shredded dried coconut (optional)
1 Tbsp butter
4-5 ears *fresh* corn, shucked, silk removed and scraped to collect the corn "milk"
1 tsp vanilla paste (extract ok)

Steps:

  • 1. *Gently* boil the coconut milk, water, sweet rice, sugar, salt, and shredded coconut (if using) over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally.
  • 2. When rice is fully cooked and every grain is plump and sticky (the mixture will resemble runny rice pudding), add the butter and shucked fresh corn. Continue to cook, still stirring occasionally, until everything has thickened nicely. Take off heat, stir in the vanilla paste or extract and let cool. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
