 Mochiko Balls in Coconut Milk With the leftover coconut milk and mochiko flour from Bibingka, I tried making what ghanima mentioned in her comment -- a dessert she called “pinindot” (and could be the same thing as what avequte called “Ginataang Bilo-Bilo?”). I thought I should have made the coconut milk sweeter, but it was still VERY good! (The topping is dried wolfberries. Strange idea? But I liked it.) Thanks guys for giving me this idea.

Oh! It looks just like mom makes! I'm going to have to do up a batch now!
God, that looks so pretty! Probably equally delicious.
yummmmy! What a divine combination - coconut milk and mochiko balls. The coconut milk looks very thick - almost like coconut cream...
I've seen dried wolfberries in asian supermarkets, but I never know how to use them. Are they similar to raisins?

Really?! Oh I’m so happy to hear that. :D Thanks!

Thanks. It would have been more delicious if I added a little more sugar…

Yeah, the coconut milk looks thick in this photo, but actually it wasn’t. :P
Dried wolfberries do not taste exactly like raisins, and I guess you can use them for toppings or tea or liquor. They are said to have great health benefits and for me they are more like medical herb. But I really don't know much about dried wolfberries and how to use them.
Looks good, Obachan! :) You can also cook Ginataan Bilo-Bilo--sorry, I think I spelled it incorrectly last time :(--with jackfruit, plantains, various root vegetables, and tapioca. Oh, and I saw your reply to my comment. I'm not really sure if pinindot and bilo-bilo are the same, but they do seem similar. I think "pinindot" means "to press" something in Tagalog.
Thanks. Ginataan Bilo-Bilo sounds interesting. Fruits and root vegetables and tapioca in coconut milk??? Mmmmm... I can't imagine the taste, but I'm tempted to think that almost anything would taste good with coconut milk.

Sorry, I spelled your name wrong. I must have pressed the Num Lock key.
oh wow! you just made me want some. Your photo is beautiful as usual :)
It was your bibingka post that first introduced me to the world of mochiko+coconut milk desserts. Thank you, jmom. :)
I guess they are becoming popular as a health food. When I googled, I found thousands of Japanese health food websites selling dried wolfberries. If you have several wolfberry trees in your garden, I’m sure you’ll be super healthy! ;)
