Skratch Labs Recipe of the Week; Peaches and Coconut Rice Cakes

Another easy recipe, the truth is they are all pretty simple and that’s one of the joys of them!

Ingredients

• 2 cups uncooked sticky rice
• 3 cups water
• 1 teaspoon coarse cane sugar
• ½ cup peeled peaches (canned/tinned or fresh)
• ½ canned coconut milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon coarse salt

Method

• Heat oven to 350f
• Combine the water and rice in a rice cooker with a dash of salt and let cook
• While the rice is cooking mince the remaining ingredients, (I mis-read this and simply chopped up the peaches)
• Lightly coat a backing sheet with nonstick cooking spray or use parchment paper
• When the rice has finished cooking mix with other ingredients
• Line a small bowl with plastic wrap and press rice into shape. From experience you can press pretty hard was you want it to stick together and keep its shape
• Remove from plastic and place on baking sheet
• Bake for 10 – 15 minutes
• Let cool and wrap

Chopping the peaches meant there was really not enough peach spread through the mix and also that it was ultimately quite delicate. Next time I will definitely make sure I mince them. That said the taste was great, very light coconut with a sweet hint of peach!

Over to you!
