About
Biko is a sweet rice cake from the Philippines. It is made of coconut milk, brown sugar, and glutinous rice. It is usually topped with latik (either or both the coconut curds or the syrupy caramel-like variant). It is a type of kalamay dish and is prepared similarly, except the rice grains are not ground into a paste.
