Black Glutinous Rice Dessert (Bubur Pulut Hitam)

This is my black glutinous rice takes three! Yes believe it, my third time making this dessert only. Can you tell how lazy I am? I tried the rice cooker and stove method, I tried straight from the stove method (takes very long to make the rice soft) and my third time was a charm. I used my lazy slow cooker method!

Here's how I did mine:

2 cups of black glutinous rice (soak in water for at least 8 hours)
3-qt. water
1 cup white sugar
Coconut cream to serve
One 4-qt. slow cooker/crock pot

Method:

Place washed black glutinous rice in the crock pot and cover the crock pot with water (half). Turn the switch to low. I let it cooked overnight, should be ready in 8 hours. I only checked on it at 12 hours so it developed a ring of harden black glutinous rice in my crock pot. Other than that, it's perfect (so I guess it should be stir once in a while to prevent that). After it's cooked, add sugar and stir to mix well and of course turned off the crock pot. Serve with a dollop of coconut cream, stir and enjoy! *Add more sugar if you prefer it sweeter*


Thick and gluey bowl of sweeten black glutinous rice is ready to be enjoyed! This is really bubur pulut hitam, it's so soft it turned into bubur (porridge) already! Surprisingly both Evy & Edda love this gluey & sticky black dessert!
