Notes

  • Make Ahead: Prepare the sticky rice cake in advance, refrigerate it for up to 3 days, and reheat before serving.
  • Customizing the Flavor: Add vanilla extract, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of condensed milk for a sweeter, more indulgent version.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve warm or at room temperature with coffee or tea for a classic Filipino merienda (snack).
  • Allergy-Friendly Options: For a dairy-free version, ensure all ingredients, like coconut milk, are free of added dairy products.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or steam for best results.
