Ingredients

  • ¾ cup pinipig fresh or frozen, pounded sweet rice
  • 1 ½ cup coconut milk
  • 6 tbsp sugar for caramel
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 can (300 mL) sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup macapuno drained, coconut sport strings
  • ¼ cup kaong drained, sugar palm fruit
  • ¼ cup red or green nata de coco drained, coconut gel
  • ¼ cup sweetened garbanzos drained, chickpeas
  • 2 tbsp grated cheddar cheese
  • ½ tsp finely grated lemon rind

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Soak pinipig in coconut milk.
  • Caramelize 3 tbsp sugar in a leche flan mold. Spread evenly and set aside. Repeat process with another leche flan mold.
  • In a bowl, beat eggs lightly. Add condensed milk, pinipig mixture, macapuno, kaong, nata de coco, garbanzos, cheese and lemon rind. Mix to combine.
  • Pour mixture into the prepared leche flan molds. Place molds in a roasting pan and set in the middle shelf of the oven. Pour enough hot water in the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the molds. Bake for 1 hour or until top is set.
  • Let cool to room temperature. Chill for several hours before serving.
  • To remove from the mold, run a knife around the sides and quickly turn the mold into a serving plate. Pour the caramel sauce over it.
