1. The most important tip: Soak the sticky rice for at least 8 hours. Rinse the rice 3-4 times until the water runs clear.

2. Steam the sticky rice until fully cooked, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and make a well in the center to prepare for the coconut mixture.

3. Mix the coconut cream with granulated sugar and salt. Add pandan leaves and gently squeeze to release their aroma (or use butterfly pea flowers if you want a different color). Do not boil. Strain the mixture through cheesecloth.

4. Pour the coconut mixture over the sticky rice and mix well. Press the rice down firmly. Cover the bowl with cheesecloth for 5 minutes to let the rice absorb the coconut mixture. Repeat this process 3 more times. Your coconut sticky rice is now ready.
