Chewy Coconut Bibingka (Filipino Rice Cake)

  4.5 – 5 reviews  • Filipino

In this chili, the smokiness of the bacon and liquid smoke balances out the chorizo’s heat and the chocolate’s sweetness. Like all chili, this tastes even better the second day. Include some chocolate shavings or a dollop of cilantro sour cream while serving.

My husband and I love this. Sweet and chewy. Great gluten free treat
Jason Zamora
Perfect snack or dessert, as mentioned. I ate chewy rice flour and coconut confections as a child and this recipe fits the bill. Husband also developed a gluten sensitivity to this treat is a welcome addition to what he can enjoy. Instead of baking in a large pan, I halved the recipe and baked in three smaller square pans. Baked in half the time and enjoyed them sooner!

Decent recipe but disappointed after baking on a sheet pan as directed, as the bibingka turned out much too thin. Tried the recipe again in a 13 x 9 pan and it yielded a much better (and albeit more traditional) result.

The first time I made this, I only had one jar of macapuno. It was good, but it came a tad dry. For this 2nd attempt, I had 2 jars of macapuno. It turned our perfect, but is a tad too sweet for my liking. I will likely reduce the brown sugar by 1/2 next time.

This was very good and texture came out perfect. I followed the recipe as written except reduced the sugar to about 1/2 cup because I was worried it was going to be too sweet with the macapuno strings. Also lined the pan for easy clean up. Thanks for sharing!
