Tibok-tibok

Tibok-tibok, usually anglicized as carabao milk pudding, is a Filipino dessert pudding made primarily from carabao milk and ground soaked glutinous rice (galapong). It originates from the province of Pampanga and is popular in Cagayan. It has a soft jelly-like texture and is topped with latik (coconut curds) before serving. It is characteristically creamy white in color and has a delicate sweet and slightly salty flavor. It is very similar to and tastes like the more common maja blanca, but the latter is made with coconut milk.[1]

Etymology

The name tibok-tibok literally means "[like a] heartbeat". This is due to the method of determining if the dish is cooked. Once it has reduced to a firm consistency, the bubbles barely break the surface, making it look like it is pulsating.[2][3]

This dessert has originated in Pampanga and widely sold in Tuguegarao and Aparri in Cagayan. It is a popular dessert during wedding feasts in Tuguegarao.

Preparation

Tibok-tibok is prepared similarly to maja blanca. Carabao milk is traditionally mixed with a small amount of galapong, ground glutinous rice that has been soaked overnight. It is flavored with a small amount of white sugar and dayap (key lime) zest. It is simmered at low heat while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. It is immediately poured into a flat pan lined with greased banana leaves and allowed to cool. It can also be poured into molds as desired. It is usually served as square or diamond-shaped slices. It is topped with latik (coconut curds).[3] It is stored in airtight containers to prevent it from drying out.[1][2][4][5]

Carabao milk can be substituted with whole fat cow's milk in areas where it is not available.[4][6] Modern versions might also use rice flour instead of galapong or exclude it altogether and instead use cornstarch.[1][6]
