Ingredients
  • 2 cups (16floz/480ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup (6oz/170g) bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
  • ½ cup (4oz/115g) butter
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 can (13.5floz/398ml) full fat coconut milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 box (about 3 cups/16oz/450g) sweet glutinous rice flour
  • 2 cups (16oz/450g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9x13-inch (23x33cm) pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

  2. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, chocolate, butter, and cocoa powder and warm over low heat until the chocolate melts, roughly 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

  3. To the cooled chocolate mixture, add the eggs, coconut milk, and vanilla, and whisk until combined.

  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sweet glutinous rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and then stir into the chocolate mixture until evenly combined.

  5. Spread into your prepared pan and bake for about 45-50 minutes, until firm to the touch.

  6. Let cool completely before cutting into either bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
