Delicious Bibingkang Nasi Recipe (Kapampangan Bibingkang Malagkit)
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.
Bibingkang malagkit is hands down a must-make recipe. If anything, make the sauce. 100% addicting.
