Ingredients:
- 2 cups glutinous rice

- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Boil coconut milk and rice with salt: In a saucepan, combine the glutinous rice, coconut milk, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. |
| 2 | Boil until quite dry: Allow the mixture to boil until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice, and the mixture becomes quite dry. This typically takes around 15-20 minutes, but keep an eye on it and stir occasionally. |
| 3 | Lower heat and add brown sugar: Reduce the heat to low, and sprinkle the brown sugar over the rice mixture. Stir well to incorporate the sugar evenly. Allow it to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. |
| 4 | Prepare the baking pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the butter and brush the bottom of a baking pan generously with it, ensuring it’s evenly coated to prevent sticking. |
| 5 | Pour rice mixture in pan: Transfer the cooked rice mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. |
| 6 | Pour coconut cream and sugar on top: Drizzle the coconut cream evenly over the top of the rice mixture, followed by sprinkling the sugar over it. This will create a deliciously sweet and creamy topping for your Bibingkang Malagkit. |
| 7 | Bake until golden: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the top of the Bibingkang Malagkit is golden brown and slightly crispy. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning. |
| 8 | Serve and enjoy: Once baked, allow the Bibingkang Malagkit to cool slightly before slicing it into squares or wedges. Serve warm and enjoy the rich flavors of this Filipino dessert! |
