Let's talk about the magic of Latik! π₯₯π΄π€
The word can actually refer to two different things βπΎ In the Visayan region, latik describes a caramelized coconut sauce that gets drizzled on top of desserts. But in the northern regions, latik more often means coconut curds, which are cooked the same way that milk curds are by separating fat solids from liquid. Then, those curds are fried and used as a flaky, crunchy garnish for a variety of desserts π
Either way, the reason we love latik so much is because caramelized coconut has such a different, far more decadent flavor than regular coconut β€οΈ It has subtle toasted, almost syrupy notes that make our mouths water π€€
You can try latik during brunch this weekend with our Karioka! A great sweet treat for your table in between all those hearty, savory dishes π₯£ Let us know how you like it!
