Ingredients
- 1½ cup sticky white rice (also known as glutinous rice)
- 2½ liter water, plus 1 liter if rice gets too thick
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup organic sugar (or more if desired)
- ¾ cup non-dairy milk, plus more to drizzle for garnish (preferably coconut milk or almond milk)
- pinch of cinnamon (optional)
- pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot, boil the water.
- Add in rice and stir every once in a while to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Cook until the rice is soft and mushy. At this time, add in the rest of the ingredients: cocoa powder, sugar, non-dairy milk, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste, as you will want to add more sugar if desired or add in more water if rice gets too thick.
- Bring the pot to a boil and then turn off heat.
- Put mixture in a bowl and drizzle non-dairy milk on top.
- Serve hot.
- If you wish to serve cold, bring the mixture to room temperature and then refrigerate to serve cold.
