My friend Christa requested this flavor for her birthday, and she was referring to the Thai black sticky rice dessert that is usually served with fresh mango. However, the warm ice cream base tastes exactly like the Pulut Hitam dessert from my Malaysian childhood, and it was really hard not to eat it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTA!

* June 20th. I have revised this recipe. The earlier version turned out too icy/solid and not sweet enough which I later learned was directly related to the Palm Sugar.
