Pulut Hitam Ice Cream

Pulut Hitam Ice Cream

all it took was one sentence from a friend - "i'm eating island creamery's pulut hitam ice cream" over MSN one day that got me into making this ice cream. island creamery's rendition is really good. smooth, coconutty, fragrant and easily one of my favorite flavors. though i didn't have a recipe to begin with, common sense tells me the easiest way to put this together is simply to find a coconut ice cream recipe and add in cooked glutinous rice that has been presoaked and boiled to a mush. and while a vanilla bean ice cream recipe will require you to place the vanilla bean pod together with the cream while bringing it to a boil, i added pandan leaves to the coconut milk. end result was a really rich and fragrant ice cream, better than i expected but a tad too cloying. might consider replacing some of the cream with milk if i'm ever gonna make this again.

Black Glutinous Rice

i didn't know black glutinous rice's so pretty! haven't really paid any attention in the past and i thought it only comes in one shade - black, but i spotted brown & white grains among the blacks. i also ended up buying the organic one that cost $3 a 500g pack coz i couldn't find the normal ones in the supermarket. was told they taste better but frankly, i couldn't really tell the difference, not especially when the coconut cream's so overpowering.

recipe adapted from iced : 180 very cool concoctions by jane lawson

ingredients :

1 1/2 cups coconut milk

1 1/2 cups coconut cream

2/3 cup sugar

6 egg yolks

2 stalks pandan leaves, knotted

handful of black glutinous rice


directions :

1. soak black glutinous rice in water and place it in the fridge overnight. remove from fridge, rinse and boil until it reaches porridge-like consistency. all the grains should be mushy, not firm. place cling film or baking paper over the top to prevent a skin from forming. leave to cool.

2. combine coconut milk, coconut cream, sugar and pandan leaves in a saucepan and bring to a boil. discard pandan leaves.

3. whisk egg yolks in a bowl and pour boiling coconut milk mixture in slow steady stream over the egg yolks while whisking constantly.

4. put mixture back to the stove over low heat and continue whisking until thickens, about 85C or coats the back of a spoon. do not allow mixture to boil. put mixture through strainer.

5. chill the mixture thoroughly, add in glutinous rice & churn in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions then freeze until firm. alternatively, if you don't have an ice cream maker, you can place the mixture in a shallow metal tray and freeze, whisking every couple of hours until frozen and creamy.
