Oh, yes Maria Clara! It hs beeen ages since I last made it so I am just relying on my memory before the senior moments sets in as Connie C. would say! So, I made it last night and it tasted EXACTLY as I remembered. I used the regular pinipig though I think using the green ones would be more fragrant? Anyway, for 1 pack of piniping (227 gm. pkg), I put in the rice cooker with 3/4 can of coconut milk (can you get Savoy brand there?) and a pinch of salt. When the liquid has been absorbed..set it aside. In a skillet , pour about 1/2 can coconut cream (you can add more later if too dry)and 1/2 cup demerara sugar, pinch of salt. Cook that until slightly thickened and then add the pinipig and 1/2 can of drained langka, pureed. Stir that and keep on stirring unitl makunat! Then cool thoroughly. I did it overnight so it is really makunat now. What I had back home was shaped like ovals. But I shaped them into tiny balls. coated in freshly grated niyog and placed them in really tiny muffin liners….and I mean tiny! …or maybe you can omit the langka and add anise if you like anise flavoured!! But the langka tasted good, really good!!!
