Inutak


Inutak is a Pateros yummy rice cake that's soft, creamy and usually eaten when still warm. It is topped with ice cream like apple pie ala mode.
 
There are a handful of Inutak recipes available online. But it all boils down to this:

Ingredients:
Sugar (about 1 kilo)
Coconut milk (extract from 5 coconuts/niyog)
Galapong (mixed of 3 cups of rice and 2 cups of malagkit rice)
Vanilla (about ½ tsp)
Water

Procedure:
Mix together sugar, ½ of coconut milk with water, galapong and vanilla. Set aside the other ½ pure coconut milk for the topping
Put in a thick pan, medium fire. Continue stirring until cooked
Prepare lanera, brush with a bit of cooking oil
Put cooked galapong in the lanera. Press flat down.
Top with the other ½ of PURE COCONUT milk (don’t add water)
Bake until toppings are golden brown

The ice cream  usually paired with it is the sorbetes contained in an aluminum cylinder and then put inside a somewhat tall wooden bucket where ice and, I think salt, is used to keep the ice cream cold.

This was a childhood treat and we used to order it for special occasions like christenings, fiestas, reunions and other gatherings.
