Today I am sharing you this all time favorite dessert that we like to prepare in the Philippines. I remembered my mom growing up as a kid since we can’t afford to buy snacks all the time. She always make up this dessert or snack called “Palitaw”. Very easy to make doesn’t require so much of your time at all. You only needs few things to finish the process. Doesn’t this looks yummy? Oh yeah wait until you try this one.
Lets get started you need the following ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups glutinous rice flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup sesame seeds, roasted
- 1 cup grated coconut
Instructions
- Combine glutinous rice flour with water and mix until a dough is formed.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough then mold it into a ball-shaped figure.
- Flatten the ball-shaped dough using the palm of your hands.
- Boil water in a cooking pot then put-in the flattened dough.
- When the flattened dough starts to float, remove them from the pot and set it aside allowing water to drip.
- Combine sugar and roasted sesame seeds then mix well.
- Roll the rice cake in grated coconut then in the sugar-sesame seed mixture.
- Arrange in a serving plate then serve. Share and enjoy!
Hope you all enjoy this recipe, let me know what you think everyone.

I’ve never heard of this desert before but I love sesame and coconut so I’ll have to try it sometime!
This is very popular in the Philippines. I remembered eating this all the time because it was easy to make and you can find it everywhere.
Sounds simple and sweet. I’ve never used rice flour so I would be interested in its taste!
Rice flour is easy to use. Doesn’t require much ingredients really.
I love quick recipes with few ingredients. We may have to try this in my household. I think my girls would like it. 🙂
My kids love helping me each time I make this recipe.

I had never heard of ‘Palitaw’ but I’m up for anything with riceflour+coconut+sugar. It’s just such a delicious combination.
It’s really good.
First time hearing about Palitaw. Looks Yummy. All ingredients are easily available in India. I will definitely give a try one day.

Anything with coconut is a friend of mine! I would love to actually try this in the Phillippines.
Same here, yes in the Philippines oh my this is tastier I don’t know why but they make it there so delicious. That is one thing that I miss about Philippines my family and food.
This looks like a yummy rice patty, is it sweet? For some reason,I think that would be good with coconut milk or coconut shavings? Am I going too far? LOL
Yes it’s sweet. You can coat this with sugar. I don’t cook this often because it will make you gain weight. I use coconut shavings.
