Filipino Desserts

Estimated cooking time: 1 hour and 20 minutes

Ingredients:
½ cup of thick coconut milk
1 cup rice flour
1cup of sugar
½ cup of cornstarch
3 tablespoon sweet corn kernel
4 cups fresh coconut milk or water
½ cup grated coconut meat (optional)

Directions:
1. Pour coconut milk in a saucepan and bring to boil. Wait until oil separates from the coconut mixture and the precipitates turns into dark brown. This dark brown formation is called “latik”. Drain the “latik” from the oil. Set aside.
2. Grease a 13-inch rectangular dish with coconut oil. Set aside.
3. In a medium-sized saucepan, blend rice flour, sugar, cornstarch, sweet corn kernels and fresh coconut milk or water.
4. Stir in optional grated buko or coconut meat. Boil over slow heat and stir constantly to prevent lumps. Wait until mixture is clear after 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Pour hot mixture into prepared dish and allow to set. Sprinkle the “latik” over the set mixture. Let it cool before slicing.
6. If rice flour isn’t available, soak 2 cups of rice in 2 cups of water overnight. When soft, grind in blender until smooth.

   i just have a question on the direction # 4. So you boil it over slow or low heat and also after 3 to 5 minutes what then you remove it from heat. If you can please clarify i appreciate it thank you so much!!

   Hi Judy!

   Thanks for dropping by Filipino Desserts blog. The direction on step 4 means that mixture should be boiled over low heat, stir thoroughly until mixture turns into clear consistency which can take 3 to 5 minutes. If the mixture becomes clear, it means you can now proceed to direction 5.

   Do drop me a note if you have additional questions.
