Ingredients

  • 4 cups uncooked glutinous white rice

  • 6 cups cold water

  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk, divided

  • 1 ⅓ cups white sugar

  • 1 ⅓ cups brown sugar

  • 3 tablespoons coconut preserves (such as Phil Supreme®)

Directions

  1. Soak rice overnight in the water.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  3. Cook the soaked rice over medium heat in a saucepan with the soaking water, 1/2 can of coconut milk, and white sugar, stirring constantly, until tender and thickened, about 20 minutes. Pour into the prepared baking pan.

  4. Stir together the brown sugar, remaining 1/2 can of coconut milk, and coconut preserves in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Pour the mixture carefully over the rice.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until the topping thickens, about 25 minutes. Cool completely; cut into squares to serve.
