Putobumbong - one of the traditional christmas delicacies made with purple rice. It literally translates to steamed glutinous rice (puto) cooked in bamboo tubes (bumbong) traditionally served with margarine, shredded coconut and brown sugar. We came up with this Breville version of putobumbong to bring twist and elevate its flavor without the hassle of preparing it traditionally. With this recipe you don’t have to wait for Christmas season, you can make it in your kitchen whole year round!

Wash the violet rice thoroughly. Soak it for 1 hour then drain the excess water.
Using the Breville Kinetix Pro Blender, process the rice until it turns into powdered consistency. (Rice Flour)
Make a dough by using Breville Bakery Boss stand mixer. For this mixture it’s best to use the Scraper beater attachment. Put the rice flour into the mixing bowl, add the brown sugar then mix lightly and gradually adding water. Mix until it forms into a dough ball.
Using an ice cream scooper number #24 to scoop into the dough ball. Flatten the dough then stuff it with cheese cube. Roll it into a ball.
Using the Breville MultiChef, boil 2 cups of water. Place the rice balls into the steamer rack and steam it for 10 mins.
In a bowl mix in fresh shredded coconut and brown sugar. Roll the cooked bumballs into the mixture.
To make the buttercream frosting, using the Breville Bakery Boss mix powdered sugar and butter on a low speed.
Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too thick, beat in more milk, a few drops at a time. If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar. Transfer the frosting into the piping bag.
Pipe in the icing into the top of bumballs and enjoy.
