Ingredients
Scale
- 16.5 fl oz good coconut milk
- 4 fl oz coconut water
- 4.2 oz chopped palm sugar
- 1/8 rounded teaspoon table salt
- Half a pandan leaf (optional)
- 1 cup Thai glutinous rice
- 2/3 cup coconut milk (for sticky rice)
- 1/3 cup sugar (for sticky rice)
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt (for sticky rice)
- Freshly roasted peanuts (optional)
- Fluffy bun or hot dog bun (optional)
- Sweet corn (optional)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a pot, place the coconut milk, coconut water, palm sugar, salt, and pandan leaf (if using). Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
- Cool down: Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely chilled, preferably overnight.
- Churn it up: Churn the mixture in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually for about 20-30 minutes.
- Freeze: Transfer the churned ice cream to a pre-chilled container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
- Prep the rice: Rinse the sticky rice 4-5 times until the water runs clear, then soak in hot water for about 20 minutes.
- Steam: After soaking, drain the rice and rinse it. In a steamer pot, bring about 2 inches of water to a boil, line the steamer rack with a wet cloth, and steam the rice for 20-25 minutes until tender and sticky.
- Make coconut syrup: In a small pot, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Combine: Once the rice is cooked, pour the coconut syrup over it and mix well. Let it rest covered for about 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- To serve: Place sticky rice in a bowl or bun, top with coconut ice cream, and embellish with toppings like peanuts or sweet corn.
Notes
Make sure to use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Allow your coconut milk and other ingredients to come to room temperature for optimal results.
