Rinse glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Combine rinsed rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix cocoa powder and sugar until well combined.

Add cocoa mixture to the cooked rice and stir until fully incorporated.

Pour in evaporated milk and stir until the mixture is creamy and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Add a pinch of salt and vanilla extract to enhance the flavor, stirring well.

Serve warm, drizzled with additional evaporated milk if desired.
