Tibok Tibok Recipe with Chocolate and Strawberry Layers
Tibok Tibok is a Filipino pudding traditionally made with carabao and rice flour. In this vegan version we will be using plant based milk flavored with chocolate and strawberry.
In a large bowl mix together the milk, rice flour and strawberry powder. Then place a sieve over a sauce pan and pour in the mixture to take out any lumps or bubbles. Press through any strawberry powder that gets stuck. Add the sugar and over low heat start mixing for about 10 minutes until the mixture starts getting thick.
Once the pudding starts to look like a thick paste transfer the mixture into 4 glasses. Tap on the table to knock out any air pockets. Leave to cool at room temperature while you make the chocolate layer.
Make The Chocolate Layer
Put the chocolate and milk together in a small sauce pan and melt. Mix until nice and smooth. Add in the rice flour and mix well. Pour the mixture through a sieve over another bowl to get any lumps out. Pour the mixture back into the sauce pan and add the sugar.
Cook the same way as the strawberry pudding. Mixing on low heat for about 7 minutes until the pudding starts to look like a thick paste. Take off the heat and leave to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
Divide the chocolate layer in between the 4 glasses on top of the strawberry layer. Tap on the table to knock out any air pockets. Leave to cool at room temperature. Once the pudding is at room temperature cover each of the pudding with it’s own cling wrap. Making sure the cling wrap is touching the top of the pudding.
To Serve
To serve the Tibok Tibok, take out of the fridge and carefully remove the cling wrap. Top with the cacao nibs and some freeze dried strawberry pieces.
Notes
To make the strawberry powder, place about 2 tablespoons of whole freeze dried strawberries in a mortar and pestal. Grind until you get a find powder. Alternatively if you have a coffee bean grinder you can use that instead.
