Black sticky rice pudding (slow cooker)


Yesterday I made this for the first time and absolutely loved it! This has become my favorite dessert lately. I don't want to eat a huge portion - but a small portion almost every day!! We went to Uwwajimaya to get black glutinous rice (no other rice should be used for this recipe - I gathered from the blogs)
The recipe is simple - Take 1.5 cups of rice and 4 cups of water. Boil it for 2 min on stove - and then add 0.5 cup coconut sugar and 1 tbsp vanilla extract - pour it in the slow cooker - 4 hours on high - or 8 on low. I did try to stir 2-3 times - mostly because I was too excited. Add 0.75 cup of coconut milk in the end. You can top it with toasted coconut if you have it handy.
The dish came out pretty authentic - and I took it to my son's school's potluck - and it got all used up :) I have a feeling I will take this to a lot more potlucks, and I will stop making a one dish order to go in thai restaurants for my cravings ;)
