Sylvia's Notes:

I thought of making this recipe because I miss the taste of Filipino sweets. We plant and harvest sweet rice in our rice fields and my grandmother and aunts would make different kinds of delicacies, but it was like a golden rule that it had to be made with coconut milk. I remember my uncles grating fresh coconut from the tree in the yard to get the most fresh, sweetest coconut milk. I added creamy peanut butter to add a new taste and my family just loved it!

Directions

Wash sweet rice in cold water and rinse.

In a medium saucepan, boil sweet rice, 2 cups coconut milk, water, brown sugar and 1/2 cup of peanut butter. Add more water as needed until rice is cooked.

Pre-heat oven at 350 degrees, grease a quarter sheet pan and spread cooked rice evenly. Set aside.

In a small saucepan, boil the remaining 1/2 cup of coconut milk and 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter until the peanut butter is dissolved. Spread evenly on top of cooked rice.

Bake for 25 minutes or until top is dark brown.

Cut into 2 inches squares, or into desired sizes.

Where do you get "sweet" rice?

This looks wonderful. Sounds wonderful. A save for me! It is also hard to get sweet rice around here. Since the price of rice went sky high, the stores quit stocking it. All they have mostly is "enriched", which I do not like. I did find a large bag of jasmine, but I am almost out.
Could jasmine work? or another type?
Got to go rice shopping!

laurie, i've purchased sweet rice from my asian market. some local grocery stores now carry it. it's different from jasmine rice, it's a short grain glutinous rice...it' also known as thai sticky rice (sweet). i love it. i hope you can find it. sw☺

thanks for the information on the sweet rice Sherri, a few months ago i would have had no problem finding this, now i may have to travel a little, but certainly looks like it will be worth the travel to the bigger city to get it.
