Description
Bibingkang Malagkit is a beloved Filipino dessert featuring glutinous rice, rich coconut milk, and a sweet silky sauce, perfect for celebrations.
Ingredients
- 5 cups glutinous rice (also known as malagkit rice)
- 4 cups water
- Pandan leaves (for flavor)
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 5 cups coconut milk (2nd extract)
- 1 & 1/3 cups white sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 4 cups coconut milk (1st extract)
- 1 & 1/3 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 sliced sugarcane (known as panutsa)
Instructions
- Wash the glutinous rice twice to remove excess starch and drain it thoroughly.
- In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice with water, oil, and pandan leaves. Cook until the liquid dries up, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors.
- Pour in the second extract of coconut milk, add additional pandan leaves, a pinch of salt, and white sugar. Mix well and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Add the cooked glutinous rice to the pot, stirring as the coconut milk is absorbed into the mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (about 350°F). Grease a baking pan and transfer the mixture into it, flattening it evenly.
- For the sauce, combine the first extract of coconut milk and brown sugar in a separate pan. Cook for about 10 minutes until dissolved and thickened.
- Add the sliced sugarcane to the sauce, stirring until it dissolves and thickens.
- Pour the sauce over the flattened rice mixture and bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Allow to cool before serving.
Notes
For best results, use quality glutinous rice and fresh coconut milk. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate for longer storage.
