Ginataang Bilo-Bilo Recipe

Posted on November 3, 2017May 7, 2020 by cookingpinoy

A delicious tropical treat that you may even have seen your grandmother prepare when you were young, ginataang bilo-bilo is one of those merienda goodies that’s sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. Imagine a milky, slightly syrupy coconut milk concoction that’s packed with chewy, sticky glutinous rice balls which serve as a perfect foil to the cubes of sweet potato, sliced plantains and strips of langka (jackfruit) that are so sunshiney-sweet that they burst in your mouth. Paired with the little tapioca balls and enough brown sugar to satisfy anyone’s cravings, this can be a great dessert after your dinner or simply a bowlful of happiness in the midday. Cold or warm, ginataang bilo-bilo is just as delicious. You can adjust the sweetness or creaminess as desired, or add other ingredients like pineapple or ube, but this recipe is a great start.
