A very coconutty and chewy rice flour dessert. Traditionally, this is baked in banana leaves, but my family prefers the crispy edges, which is why I use a sheet pan. I have been testing out several types of chewy desserts using rice flour, and this seems to be the favorite.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk

  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 stick butter, melted

  • 4 eggs

  • 2 (12 ounce) jars macapuno strings in heavy syrup

  • 2 ½ cups sweet rice flour (mochiko)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 12x17-inch rimmed baking sheet.
