Ingredients
2 cups glutinous rice
1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup coconut cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Rinse soaked glutinous rice under cold water until clear, then steam for about 30 minutes until tender but chewy.
In a separate pot, combine coconut milk, brown sugar, and salt over medium heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes until flavors meld.
Mix two-thirds of the coconut mixture with steamed rice until evenly coated. Transfer to a greased baking pan.
Pour the remaining coconut mixture on top and bake at 350?F (175?C) for 25-30 minutes until set and golden brown.
Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
Customize your Biko by adding toppings like latik (coconut cream reduction) or fresh fruits.
