Ginataan - Filipino Dessert - Video

Happy New Year, foodies!!!

I decided to make one of my families’s favorite desserts, Ginataan.  Gina-ta-what? ???? It’s a Filipino dessert. I’ve tried many and my mom’s recipe is the best, in my humble opinion.

It’s like a warm, sweet hug. Hope you enjoy.

Step 1-bring a pot of water to boil

Step2-in a separate soup pan throw these ingredients in and bring to a boil
1 asian purple potato, cut into cubes
1 cassava, cut into cubes 
2 asian bananas / plantains
1 can Jackfruit
2 cans coconut milk
1-3/4c water
1/2c sugar

Step 3-in a bowl, mix these ingredients together and create ball
1-3/4c Mochiko
1c water

Step 4-When the pot of water is boiling, pinch off a little of the mochiko ball and drop it in the water. Repeat until you’ve used all of the mochiko mix. The mochi balls are done when they float to the top. 

Step 5-add the mochi balls to the soup pan with all of the ingredients. You can add some of the mochi ball water to thicken the soup.

The dessert is done when a fork can easily go through the purple potatoes.

Enjoy!
