Does anyone know the recipe to this filipino dish?
It is made with cocunut milk and some type of masa balls. It is a stew or soup very thick, sweet. I had it years ago and have been craving it but I don't know the recipe. Please help! It was delicious!

Answers:
What you're looking for is bilo-bilo.
1 cup glutinous rice flour (malagkit, sold in Asian stores - also known as sweet rice)
1/3 cup water
3 cups coconut milk, thinned with 1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 cups large tapioca pearls (optional)
1 1/2 cups coconut cream
Blend flour and water into a dough. Shjape into balls 1/4 inch diameter.
In a large pot, boil coconut milk, sugar and tapioca. When tapioca is transparent, add rice balls. When the rice balls are soft but firm and start to float, add coconut cream and boil for another 5 minutes or so. Serve hot.
The fruit is optional but it was probably jackfruit (langka).
