Chewy Coconut Bibingka (Filipino Rice Cake)

This was very good and texture came out perfect. I followed the recipe as written except reduced the sugar to about 1/2 cup because I was worried it was going to be too sweet with the macapuno strings. Also lined the pan for easy clean up. Thanks for sharing!

Perfect snack or dessert, as mentioned. I ate chewy rice flour and coconut confections as a child and this recipe fits the bill.

Husband also developed a gluten sensitivity to this treat is a welcome addition to what he can enjoy.

Instead of baking in a large pan, I halved the recipe and baked in three smaller square pans. Baked in half the time and enjoyed them sooner!

The first time I made this, I only had one jar of macapuno. It was good, but it came a tad dry. For this 2nd attempt, I had 2 jars of macapuno. It turned our perfect, but is a tad too sweet for my liking. I will likely reduce the brown sugar by 1/2 next time.
