Description

Biko is a traditional Filipino dessert made from glutinous rice, coconut milk, and brown sugar. It is a popular dessert during special occasions like birthdays, fiestas, and holidays. This sweet rice treat has a sticky and chewy texture, and it is topped with latik or caramelized coconut cream.

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

1 hour

Ingredients

  • 2 cups glutinous rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water for latik

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Strainer
  • Pot
  • Wooden spoon
  • Baking dish

Method

  1. Wash the glutinous rice and soak it in water for 30 minutes.
  2. Drain the rice and put it in a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
  3. Add the coconut milk and brown sugar to the rice and stir to combine. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes sticky. This will take about 30-40 minutes.
  4. While the biko is cooking, make the latik. Heat the coconut cream in a pot over medium heat. When it starts to boil, lower the heat and let it simmer until the oil separates and the cream turns into a golden brown color. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Scoop out the latik and set it aside.
  5. Transfer the cooked biko to a greased baking dish and flatten it with a spoon. Top it with the latik.
  6. Let the biko cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • If you want a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the biko mixture.
  • You can also add toppings like grated cheese, toasted nuts, or fruit slices to the biko.
  • Leftover biko can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Recipes FAQ

Can I use regular rice instead of glutinous rice?

No, glutinous rice is essential for making biko. It has a sticky texture that regular rice does not have.

Can I use white sugar instead of brown sugar?

You can, but brown sugar gives biko its distinct flavor and color.

Can I use canned coconut milk?

Fresh coconut milk is preferred, but if it's not available, canned coconut milk can be used. Just make sure to shake the can well before opening.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to stir the biko constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • If the biko is too dry, add a little more coconut milk.
  • Use a greased baking dish to prevent the biko from sticking.
  • Let the biko cool before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.
