Latik

Depending on the region, the Filipino term latik can refer to two separate dishes: either coconut curds produced by heating coconut milk to separate the oil, or a thick and sweet coconut syrup made by reducing a combination of coconut cream and sugar.

The golden brown curds are usually used as a crunchy topping on creamy desserts, while the syrup can be utilized as a condiment or even as a sweetener in hot or cold beverages.
