You can use tinned guava if you can't get the fresh variety. Alternatively, use pineapple, poached tamarillos or mango.

Ingredients

1 cup white sticky rice, soaked in water overnight, drained
800ml coconut cream
80g palm sugar
1/4 fresh coconut
4 guavas, peeled and halved

Method

Place the rice, coconut cream and sugar in a heavy-based saucepan. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice is soft. Cover with a lid and allow to sit in a warm place for 30 minutes or until you are ready to serve. Remove coconut flesh from the hard shell and shave with a vegetable peeler. Serve sticky rice with two guava halves and a sprinkling of shaved coconut.
