Ingredients(for 1 medium slice (about 100g per serving))

• 1 cup Glutinous rice flour (malagkit)
• 1 cup Light coconut milk (gata)
• 2 tablespoons Stevia or coconut sugar (reduce for lower calories)
• 1 tablespoon Ube powder or extract (for purple layer)
• 2 tablespoons Jackfruit (langka), chopped (fresh or canned, for yellow layer) - optional
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Grated coconut (for topping) - optional
• 1/2 cup Water
• a few drops Food coloring (purple and yellow) (optional, for brighter colors) - optional

Instructions

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, light coconut milk, water, stevia or coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and lump-free.

   5 minutes

   Sift the rice flour for a smoother batter.

2. 2

   Divide the batter evenly into three separate bowls. In the first bowl, add ube powder or extract (plus purple food coloring if desired). In the second, mix in chopped jackfruit and yellow food coloring. Leave the third bowl plain for the white layer.

   3 minutes

   Ensure each layer is well mixed to avoid color streaks.

3. 3

   Grease a small heatproof dish or pan. Pour the ube (purple) batter as the first layer. Steam over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until set.

   6 minutes

   Cover with foil to prevent water droplets from spoiling the surface.

4. 4

   Gently pour the jackfruit (yellow) batter over the set purple layer. Steam for another 5-6 minutes until firm.

   6 minutes

   Pour slowly to keep layers distinct.
