Ingredients

For the biko rice cake, you will need:

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar

Equipment

Method

  1. Wash the glutinous rice and soak it in water for 30 minutes.
  2. Drain the rice and place it in a pot with 2 cups of water.
  3. Cook the rice over medium heat until it is tender and the water has been absorbed.
  4. Add coconut milk, brown sugar, and salt to the rice and stir until well combined.
  5. Continue to cook the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pot, for 30-40 minutes or until it thickens.

  7. Bake the biko rice cake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

  10. Spread the latik topping over the biko rice cake and let it cool before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to stir the biko rice cake mixture constantly while cooking to prevent it from sticking to the pot and burning.
  • If the mixture is too thick, you can add more coconut milk to achieve the desired consistency.
  • You can adjust the amount of brown sugar used in the recipe according to your preference.
  • The latik topping can also be made by frying shredded coconut in a pan until it turns golden brown.
