    This is one of my favorites rice cakes It's sweetness and flavor appeals to me a lot. I like the purple yam color too, though some like the natural brown hue.

    Ingredients

    • 2 1/2 cups Glutinous Rice
    • 4 cups Coconut Milk(or 1 can coconut milk plus enough water to make 4 cups)
    • 3/4 cup Sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon anise seed(optional)
    • TOPPING
    • 1 can Coconut Cream or 1 1/2 cups Kakang Gata
    • 250 grams Brown Palm Sugar or Dark Brown Sugar
    • Banana Leaves, heated

    Directions

    1. Dissolve the sugar in the coconut milk and put in a pot. Add the anise seeds.
    2. Wash the glutinous rice and pour into the coconut milk and sugar mixture.
    3. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the liquid is fully absorbed by the rice.
    4. On a separate pan over medium heat, put the Coconut cream and Palm sugar and cook stirring continuously until the liquid has reduced in half.
    5. Assemble the Kalamay in a baking dish. Place the banana leaves at the bottom, and brush with oil. Spread the cooked sweet rice onto the leaves and flatten evenly.
