In a medium saucepan, bring 1L water to a boil. Add the black rice and vanilla and cook, uncovered, for 35-45 minutes on a very low heat. Stir occasionally until soft and sticky (I like to keep mine with a little bit of bite/nuttiness to the rice, but this is personal preference!). If the rice dries out before it is soft, just add a little more water as you go.

Right before it is ready, heat a small frypan over medium-high heat with the tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced banana and cook for 3-5 minutes until starting to caramelise. Set aside for serving.

Drain and tip the rice into a large bowl.
-
Add the coconut sugar and mix to combine.

Divide the rice behind the serving bowls. Top with the coconut cream, caramelised banana and your choice of toppings - I like to use mango, passionfruit, toasted coconut and pomegranate when they are available .
