Procedures:
Coconut Caramel Sauce Topping
- In a sauce pan, combine 1 ½ cups coconut cream and 1 cup brown sugar. Stir until well blended.
- Turn on the heat. Cook over medium heat.
- Simmer until it thickens.
- Stir once in a while to prevent the caramel sauce from burning.
- Once the coconut caramel sauce thickens turn off the heat and set aside.
Biko
- In a large pot or pan, combine 2 cups coconut milk, 3 cups water and ¼ tsp pandan flavor or pandan leaf. Stir until well blended. (In this recipe, I used buco-pandan flavor because I don’t have pandan flavor)
- Turn on the heat. Add 2 cups glutinous rice (washed).
- Cook over low medium heat.
- Stir continously to prevent the glutinous rice from burning.
- Once the glutinous rice is almost cooked, add 1 cup sugar. Stir well until the sugar is melted.
- Then, turn off the heat.
- Transfer the biko into a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Flatten the biko evenly using a spatula.
- Pour the coconut caramel sauce topping over the biko.
- Spread the coconut caramel sauce topping to cover the biko.
- Allow to cool completely or chill for an hour to completely set the coconut caramel sauce topping before slicing.
