Ingredients

• 1 cup jasmine rice, uncooked
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

How to Make Crispy Coconut Rice Cakes with Chocolate Sauce

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
2. Once cooked, remove the rice from heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the shredded coconut, sugar, vanilla extract, flour, and baking powder until well combined.
3. Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. While the oil is heating, shape the rice mixture into small, flat cakes, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
4. Carefully place the cakes in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
5. To make the chocolate sauce, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
6. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the crispy coconut rice cakes before serving. Enjoy warm!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
• Do not overcrowd the skillet; fry in batches for even cooking.
• Allow the rice cakes to cool slightly before serving to enhance their flavor.

Easy Variations

• Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the rice mixture for a warm spice flavor.
• Substitute almond milk for a nutty twist.
• Top with fresh fruit like mango or berries for added freshness.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the rich chocolate sauce.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Whipped cream for extra indulgence.
