Serves 6

Ingredients

Coconut milk
2 cups
Sweet corn kernels
2 cups (fresh or frozen)
Sugar
1/2 cup
Glutinous rice flour
1/4 cup
Water
1/2 cup (for slurry)
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. In a medium pot, combine the coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Add the sweet corn kernels to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour with the water to create a smooth slurry.
  4. Slowly pour the slurry into the pot while stirring continuously to prevent any lumps from forming.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
  6. Remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. The dessert can be enjoyed warm or chilled, based on your preference.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider garnishing with toasted coconut flakes or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
  • 💡 If you prefer a thicker consistency, simply add more glutinous rice flour to the slurry.
  • 💡 This dish pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast in temperature.
