Chinese Tikoy

In the Philippines, tikoy (from the Chinese ti-que meaning sweet cake) is usually served during the Chinese New Year. Here in New Zealand, tikoy is a dessert served anytime of the year. This is a bit different from the tikoy that you can buy in the Philippines. I love the texture and richness of this version so I requested my friend for the recipe. So here it is:

Ingredients:
½ kg of glutinous rice
100 g melted butter
2 cups white sugar
3 cups of milk
3 eggs
½ tsp Vanilla
Sesame seeds
1 tablespoon baking powder

Directions:
1. Excluding the sesame seeds, mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
2. Cover the baking dish with a partial part-melted butter.
3. Transfer the mixed ingredients from the mixing bowl to the baking dish.
4. Sprinkle sesame seeds at the top5. Bake at 160 degree Celsius for 55 minutes (adjust the time if needed)
