Latik
Latik is a Filipino dessert made from coconut milk and coconut sugar. It's typically cooked until it thickens and the coconut solids separate from the oil. Latik is commonly used as a topping for various Filipino desserts like rice cakes and sweet porridge.
Ingredients
- 2 cans coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
Instructions
- Pour the coconut milk into a pan and heat it on medium heat.
- Once the coconut milk starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes.
- Stir the coconut milk occasionally to make sure it doesn’t burn.
- As the coconut milk simmers, you’ll start to notice it thickening and the oil separating from the milk.
- Use a spoon to remove the oil and set it aside.
- Continue simmering the milk until it turns into a light brown color and the milk solids start to stick together.
- Add 1 tablespoon of white sugar to the mixture and stir until fully dissolved.
- Continue stirring until the mixture turns into a darker brown color and the milk solids become crispy. Use for topping your dessert. Enjoy!
