Wash the glutinous rice thoroughly. Place the rice in a sieve in a bowl of water and stir vigorously. Drain the cloudy water and repeat 2–3 times until the water runs clear.
Soak the rice for at least 3 hours after wrapping it in cheesecloth.
Steam the rice for 25 minutes or until fully cooked.
Once the rice is steamed, transfer it to a pot over low heat. Add 1 cup of coconut milk and a pinch of salt.
Break up the rice and stir gently until it absorbs the coconut milk and turns sticky, about 4 minutes.

In a pot, add the flesh of 2 durian seeds, 1 cup of coconut milk, and 3 tablespoon of coconut sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, breaking up the durian while stirring until the sugar dissolves.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoon of water. Gradually add this mixture to the durian sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. If you want a thicker sauce, you can repeat with an additional cornstarch slurry. Remove from heat.

Plate the sticky rice and pour the sweet durian sauce over the top. Add a couple of extra durian seeds on top for a decadent touch. Enjoy warm!
