BLACK STICKY COCONUT RICE

When I first prepared this dish , I felt pretty smug . It was back in the day when black rice wasn't a common grain on our tables , but thanks to my son Dale , always into fitness and running , introduced me to the benefits of grains . To be honest he never did support this dish but it slipped under the radar because it has no added sugar . You need to start the preparation for this dessert , the night before . Place 3/4 cup of black rice rinsed and soaked in a cup of cold water overnight . Next day , place the rice and 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of coconut cream in a small saucepan over a medium heat and bring to a slow boil . Reduce the heat to low , cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender ( approx 40 minutes ). Divide the sticky rice between 2 serving bowls Pour over a drizzle of coconut milk into each bowl and top with mango slices , if in season or with fruit of your choice .
