Total 65 mins
Serves 4

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

  1. Rinse Agriko black rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package directions until tender (usually 30-35 minutes), then set aside to cool completely.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

Chef's Tip

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.
