TIBOK – TIBOK Recipe
Weird name for a sweet dessert, eh? Tibok-tibok is a Kapampangan (from Pampanga) pudding that is traditionally made with carabao’s milk. The name literally means “heartbeat” (tibok in Tagalog), which describes how you can tell when the pudding is done; the bubbles just barely touch the surface, making it looks like it’s pulsating-like a beating heart. Tibok-tibok closely resembles a similar dessert called maja blanca, which is made of coconut milk.
Carabao’s milk imparts a slightly salty flavor to the mixture, which might not be achieved when regular milk is used. However, variations may use cow’s milk instead or a combination of coconut milk and cow’s milk.
Instead of latik (which is used in this recipe here), one can try topping this treat with toasted coconut flakes by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F, laying the flaked or shredded coconut on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mat, and heating it for three to five minutes or until golden brown.
