Black Rice Bibingka
Blended cooked Agriko black rice, coconut milk and eggs bake into a moist, nutty Bibingka with a deep purple colour. This version uses a parchment-lined pan and an optional grated-coconut topping.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups Agriko black rice, cooked and cooled
- 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
- ½ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons grated mature coconut (optional, for topping)
Instructions
-
Measure 1½ cups of black rice after cooking and cooling it. If starting with dry rice, cook a batch according to the package directions, let it cool completely, then measure out 1½ cups for the batter. Keep any extra cooked rice separate.
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or bibingka clay pan with coconut oil and line the bottom with parchment paper.
-
In a blender, combine cooled black rice, coconut milk, brown sugar, eggs, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy with a slight texture from the rice grains.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is set but still slightly jiggly in the center and has a light golden-purple crust.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. If desired, sprinkle grated mature coconut on top while still warm for added texture and authentic flavor.
-
Cut into squares or wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. The bibingka can be enjoyed fresh or stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
The rice quantity is measured after cooking and cooling. Timing starts with that rice ready: allow 20 minutes preparation, 35–40 minutes baking and 10 minutes cooling, about 65–70 minutes overall. Add rice cooking and cooling time if starting from dry grain. For best results, ensure your black rice is completely cooled before blending—warm rice will make the batter too thin. If you prefer a firmer texture, add 2-3 tablespoons of ground rice flour to the batter mixture.
