Biko with Durian Jam
Biko is a sweet, sticky rice cake that is made by cooking glutinous rice and mixing it with creamy coconut milk and brown sugar, with added durian jam to make it extra special. The result is a rich, chewy dessert that’s hard to resist.
Ingredients
For the sticky rice:
- 2 cups dry sticky rice
- 3 cups water
Others:
- 2 cups coconut milk

- 1/2 cup durian jam
- pinch of salt
For the latik:
- 4 cups coconut cream
Instructions
For the Sticky Rice:
-
Cook the sticky rice according to the package instructions. I cooked mine in a rice cooker.
-
Once the sticky rice is cooked, we can start preparing the Biko.
-
In a pan over medium heat, add coconut milk, brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and durian jam.
-
When the coconut milk starts boiling, add the cooked sticky rice and mix well.
-
Continue mixing constantly until the liquid evaporates.
-
You can taste and add more sugar if desired. Transfer to a greased container. I greased mine with coconut oil from the latik.
-
Brush the top of the Biko with coconut oil from the latik.
-
Top the Biko with latik.
-
Enjoy!
For the Latik:
-
Add coconut cream to a pan.

Simmer over low to medium heat until coconut curds start to form.
-
Separate the curds from the coconut oil, but reserve the coconut oil as well.
Recipe Notes
Well, if you don't like adding durian jam but still wanna try this recipe, you can omit the durian jam and try vanilla extract instead.
