Ginataang Bilo-Bilo is sometimes referred to as Ginataang Halo-Halo. The term Bilo-Bilo means a round shape. In English, ginataan is something cooked with coconut milk. Basically, the process of making this dessert is making the bilo bilo or the rice balls, first and then cooking them in coconut milk. The ingredients you use will also affect the color of the food. If you are use purple yam, there is a tendency for the soup to turn to a purple color. In this recipe, we only use sweet potatoes. So, you’ll notice the color is orange. The recipe is sweet and sits heavy in your stomach. But it, nevertheless, makes an excellent snack or dessert.
