Sticky Black Rice Dessert with Almond Cream

Black sticky rice (or black glutinous rice) is a naturally sweet, dark purple-ish coloured rice that has both fibre and loaded with antioxidants, which only makes this rice pudding extra enjoyable to eat. This dish can be eaten hot or cold and has a beautiful, chewy texture. The dessert is not overly sweet and has beautiful aromatic spices that pair well with the delicious almond cream.
