Pressure Cooker Biko Filipino Sweet Rice Cake (No Soak)
This dish is so sweet and delicious I cannot wait for you to try it for yourself. This is my Pressure Cooker Biko Filipino Sweet Rice Cake No Soak Recipe. I love to enjoy mine with fresh slices of mango’s or with the caramel topping you see in the photos. This method is perfect for those who forget to soak their sweet rice the night before. I’m super busy with my four kids it’s hard to remember to do things like this sometimes.
I love how with this recipe even though it takes a while to cook it comes out so delicious, and as the cook, you get first dibs on the fresh batch of sweet rice! This is a Filipino version that I’m sure resembles Rice Pudding. It is ooey gooey goodness that only needs to be reheated after it’s been refrigerated to get back to its original delicious self.
Recipe Notes:
If you would like you can use small ceramic oven-safe dishes and divide the contents into them evenly. Keep all of the cooking times the same but ensure that there is an equal amount of liquid in each mini ceramic dish. Do not overfill your mini ceramic dishes, to ensure even cooking keep the rice below the middle mark of your dishes. Make sure there is enough liquid in each dish by only filling it to a little below 3/4.

This looks so good! I have never eaten Filipino food but your recipes are making me want to try it!
April it’s defiantly worth a try, the sweet rice cakes are defiantly a treat. We make it for special occasions, but it’s great to make it as quickly as you can using this method.
Did you really mean 75 minutes of pressure cooking time?
I really want to try this but 75 min of cook time? Please inform.
Jay, is it really 75min or manual high or 75 minutes on steam mode. 3 of your fans need clarification.
Hi Shar, It is 75 Minutes on Manual High. If the time seems high for some it is because this is a no-soak recipe, meaning you do not have to soak it overnight. Please let me know if you have any other questions, thank you for reaching out to me about this Shar.

Thank you Jay for replying and explains. I understand the 75 mins on high.
Is it natural or manual pressure release?
I have an instant pot 3 qt mini, so any special instructions for that?
Can’t wait to try your recipe 🙂
Hi Shar, Thank you for asking, it helps me make sure I am explaining things right on my posts 🙂 I do a manual press release and eat them as I pull them out of the pot. Don’t be like me and burn the roof of your mouth because you don’t let them sit for a few minutes on the counter. I wait about 5 minutes and then dig in, I use that time to cut my mango slices that go on top. Please let me know what you think of the recipe! Cheers!

Hey … do you mean a 7 cup bowl … or 7 quart …. the instant pot is 6 quarts. How can you fit a 7 quart bowl in it?
Is there recipe for caramel topping?
Hi Lola, I’m sorry, I don’t have a recipe for the caramel at this time. I used a bottle of caramel that I had purchased for another recipe. I hope you are able to try this delicious recipe! Please come back and let me know what you thought of it if you do.

Is the recipe updated now on the website, with all its corrections?
Hello, yes it is updated with the correct information. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family and I did! 🙂

I would really like to try this recipe. Can you please tell me what size bowl you use? In your directions, you say 7 quart bowl. As I asked earlier, The Instant Pot is 6 quarts, … how do you fit a 7 quart bowl in it?
Hi Dawn, Thank you for following up with this question. The recipe had a typo and it calls for a 7 cup Microwave safe bowl (ie. Pyrex). I hope that was helpful and that you are able to try this delicious recipe. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
