Latik Syrup

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, rinse and drain the glutinous rice several times under cold water until the water runs clear. Add brown sugar, coconut milk, and water then stir.
  • Place the pot on stove over medium-high heat. Cook and stir continuously until they become golden brown in color; do not overcook them as they will turn hard and chewy once mixed with other ingredients later on. Remove from heat once done then set aside for cooling down before mixing with other ingredients.
  • In a separate saucepan, combine the coconut milk and brown sugar. Cook and continuously stir until the liquid thickens and caramelized.
  • Transfer the rice into the small baking pan. Pour the latik syrup on top of the rice, spread evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven when it is done. Let it cool down then cut into desired shapes such as squares or diamond shapes using knife or cookie cutter before serving.
