Biko is a classic Filipino rice cake made from glutinous rice slowly cooked in rich coconut milk and dark brown sugar, creating a sweet, creamy, and slightly chewy texture. It’s traditionally topped with a glossy coconut caramel (latik) that adds a deep, toasty sweetness. Served sliced into squares, biko is a beloved dessert and merienda, often enjoyed during fiestas, gatherings, and special occasions for its comforting, homey flavor.
