Chocolate Biko

Chocolate Biko

Chocolate dessert made with Filipino tablea cacao — rich, earthy, and less sweet than commercial chocolate. A delicious Filipino dish.

Prep: 5 min Cook: 30 min

Ingredients

  • 0.75 cup glutinous rice
  • 2 piece cacao tablea
  • 2.5 cup coconut milk
  • 0.75 cup brown sugar
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Pour coconut milk in a pot. Bring to a boil.

  2. Add in the tablea. Stir until it dissolves completely.

  3. Add the rice, sugar, and salt. Stir and cover. Continue to cook in low to medium heat until the rice absorbs half of the liquid.

  4. Stir the mixture making sure that no rice sticks on the pot (this will require a little effort). Continue to cook until the liquid is completely absorbed. Note: you may add more coconut milk or water when the liquid starts to dry out and the rice is not completely done yet.

  5. Arrange in a greased baking dish. Let it cool down and serve.
