SUMAN PINIPIG WITH BUKO AND LATIK RECIPE

INGREDIENTS:

  • For Suman:
  • 5 cups pinipig (preferably green), soaked in “Thin Coconut Milk” for 30 minutes*
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 ½ cups caster sugar
  • 3 ½ cups coconut milk
  • 1 tsp anise seeds (see photo below)
  • 1 cup latik
  • 1 cup buko strips (alternatively macapuno)
  • For Latik:
  • 2 cups coconut milk* (alternatively coconut cream)
  • For Wrapper: wilted banana leaves

Cooking Notes:

  • THIN COCONUT MILK:  means the coconut milk is diluted with water (1:1 ratio) ½ cup water is to ½ cup coconut milk
  • Coconut milk powder diluted in hot water does not work for latik making.
  • Anise or anise seeds, adds aroma and flavor to your suman. The smell of these seeds are very fragrant, it smells like aromatic rice, kakanin or like pandan leaves but much stronger. You can buy these in local markets or SM supermarket in condiments section along the isle of Mccormicks, herbs, pepper and powder seasoning. See sample photo above.
