"This is a Filipino dessert made from glutinous sweet rice and coconut milk. My friend asked for this recipe after someone made it for a potluck."

ingredients

3 cups sweet rice
1 ¹⁄₂ cups water
3 cups coconut milk
1 ¹⁄₂ cups sugar
³⁄₄ teaspoon salt
²⁄₃ cup dark brown sugar
¹⁄₄ cup evaporated milk
²⁄₃ cup milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons water

directions

Soak rice in 3 1/2 cups water overnight.
Combine rice with coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a rice cooker or heavy non-stick pot over medium low heat, stirring frequently until fully cooked. Add a little more water if needed. If you are using a rice cooker, keep cooker on warm setting until rice is cooked.
Line a 9x13x2 inch pan with foil greased with butter.
Transfer rice to pan and spread evenly; smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Set aside.
Combine flour and 4 tablespoons water in a small cup and stir to make a slurry and set aside.
Combine brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and milk in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
Stir in flour mixture and whisk until sauce has thickened and is smooth.
Spread over rice evenly.
Brown top under broiler for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Do not burn.
Let cool at room temperature until firm and cut into pieces with a plastic knife.
I decrease the sugars by 1/2 cup and cut the salt to 1/2 tsp as I do not like very sweet desserts. Sweet rice is available in Asian markets. The short grain sweet rice is normally used. Long-grained glutinous rice is used by Thai's for sweet sticky rice. Coconut milk can be purchased canned or frozen.

<p>I was lucky to be born in Hawaii and I work as an ICU nurse in Honolulu. I love gardening and I have the sagging bookshelf full of books to prove it. I also love to bake, but I'm not really a good cook unless I have a recipe. I also have over 200 cookbooks and the cabinet is full!</p>
