Chocolate-Coffee Dodol Recipe

Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup instant coffee powder
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 tsp salt

Special Equipment Needed:
- Large non-stick pot
- Wooden spoon
- Parchment paper
- 8x8 inch square baking pan

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. In a large non-stick pot, combine the glutinous rice flour, coconut milk, brown sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee powder, butter, and salt. Stir until well combined.

2. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. The mixture will start to thicken and become sticky.

3. Keep stirring the mixture until it becomes thick and pulls away from the sides of the pot. This should take around 30-40 minutes.

4. Once the mixture is thick, pour it onto a piece of parchment paper and flatten it out with a spatula.

5. Place another piece of parchment paper on top of the mixture and use a rolling pin to flatten it out even more. You want it to be about 1/2 inch thick.

6. Remove the top piece of parchment paper and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.

7. Once the mixture has cooled slightly, use a sharp knife to cut it into small squares.

8. Let the chocolate-coffee dodol cool completely before serving.
