Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine sweet rice flour, sweetened shredded coconut, and coconut milk. Mix well until a dough is formed.

3. Heat a cooking pot then pour-in cooking oil.

4. Deep fry the mixture that were formed into balls in medium heat for 5 to7 minutes or until the color turns light to medium brown.

5. Turn off heat and remove the balls from the cooking pot. Transfer the balls to a plate lined with paper towel. Set aside.

6. Start making the coating by heating a saucepan and pouring the coconut milk in. Let the coconut milk boil then add the brown sugar and stir continuously until the mixture thickens. Turn off heat.

7. Dip the fried balls into the coating then skewer, if desired.

8. Serve. Share and enjoy!

Editors Review

From the video, one can easily make out that something delicious is being cooked. These are Filipino Carioca or sweet balls made with sticky rice flour. Unfortunately, the entire video is in Filipino and it would be very hard to replicate the recipe without exact measurements in hands.

I would suggest the glutenous rice flour for this recipe and with the measurements above you will need to add a bit more coconut milk to the mixture. TASTES GREAT
