Rice Cake (Biko)

I had a terrible cravings for Biko the other week. In my desperate thought, I was able to come up with an idea how to make my rice cake different from the recipe that I have in my compilations of recipes. I don't want it to be too sweet so I figured a way to make it still "biko" but not really too matamis.

It was so yummy that it disappeared quick and especially when I shared it with my friends. They all like it.

Here is the list of my ingredients, just in case you want to try it:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 6 cups of coconut milk
• 2 cups uncooked malagkit ( sweet rice)
• 1 cup macapuno (in bottle)
• 1 tsp anise

Here is how to do it:

• Dissolve sugar in 6 cups of coconut milk over medium heat. Bring it to a boil for 30 minutes.
• Add uncooked malagkit and anise.
• Simmer and stir constantly until all liquid disappeared.
• Cover for 15 minutes, occasionally stirring.
• Put in a baking pan, pack and top it with macapuno.
• Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until top turns brown on a 350º.
• Serve hot or cold with your favorite hot drinks.

So Yummy!
