Cookbook Countdown #13 ~ Pulut Hitam

Happy New Year everyone! 
I have been craving for this sweet dessert for sometime, and finally
made it during the three day holiday weekend!

Pulut Hitam aka Black glutinous rice
above: without dried longans
I did soak the black glutinous rice overnight
water, palm sugar (I used gula merah)
screwpine (pandan) leaves
coconut cream
and dried longan fruits*
*optional but a must in authentic Peranakan cuisine
 
In authentic Peranakan cooking, no sugar of any kind
is used, the dessert is only sweetened by the dried longan fruits!

Pulut hitam, yums! I have never tried adding longans before! Been awhile since we last had any pulut hitam!
Love your stack of cookbooks! Some of the their twins are on my bookshelves :)

You always have such interesting dishes. NO sugar. How wonderful to just use longan. I see that it also has great health benefits. We can learn a lot from using the old 'ways'.
