Bibingkang Nasi or “bibingkang malagkit” in Tagalog, is a Kapampangan dessert made with glutinous sweet rice, coconut milk, and brown sugar, and then baked on banana leaves. (Growing up we always called it putong nasi or putong malagkit.)

It’s often mistaken for another Filipino dessert, biko, but the bibingkang malagkit recipe is sweeter and richer in flavor, and has a softer texture.

Bibingkang malagkit is generally vegan by default and was sometimes the only thing I could eat at family parties, so I always appreciated when someone made this!

It’s topped with a coconut milk and brown sugar sauce. I sometimes add gula melaka palm sugar to the sauce for a richer caramel flavor.

Mini Bibingkang Nasi, Filipino Dessert: A close-up view of Mini Bibingkang Nasi, a traditional Filipino dessert made from glutinous rice topped with a rich, dark caramel-like sauce. The dessert is served in a banana leaf, adding an authentic touch to the presentation. A spoon is partially dipped into the sauce, highlighting its thick and glossy texture. The vibrant green of the banana leaf contrasts with the deep brown of the sauce, making the dish visually appealing and inviting.

Bibingkang malagkit is hands down a must-make recipe. If anything, make the sauce. 100% addicting.
