Procedure:

• In a bowl, combine all butternut coating ingredients except for the food coloring and mix until well combined. Add drops of orange food coloring gradually and mix until well blended. Set aside until needed.
• In a separate bowl, combine sifted glutinous rice flour and unsweetened cocoa powder and mix. Add how water, mix until it forms a dough and knead until soft.
• Scoop one tablespoon of palitaw dough and make a ball and flatten, put small chopped milk chocolate in the center and pinch the dough to seal. Roll to form a ball and repeat the process until your palitaw dough is used.
• In a deep casserole, bring 1.5 liters of water into a boil over medium heat. When the water starts to boil, drop palitaw balls in boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes. Don’t overcrowd your casserole, palitaw floats and expands when it’s cooked. Drain excess water and roll palitaw in prepared butternut coating and arrange on a plate or paper liners.

Here’s Our Simple Ingredients: Glutinous Rice Flour also known as “Sweet Rice Flour”, Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, Hot Water, Milk Chocolate and Buttered Desiccated Coconut with Milk Powder, Icing Sugar, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Melted Butter and Orange Food Coloring.

For the Palitaw filling, you can use Dark Chocolate or White Chocolate, and if you don’t want a chocolate filling, you can use yema balls or leave it plain, that will be fine. And here’s our Butternut Coating, my desiccated coconuts are not super fine as I wanted to, but it doesn’t matter, as long as it tastes good 🙂

These bad boys, looks good and it’s ready to serve and enjoy, I like to eat palitaw balls while it’s still warm 🙂 You can store this in the fridge, this will last up to 4-5 days. Reheat in a microwave for 30 seconds and still taste like freshly made.
For your Negosyo Tips: Pack about six pieces of Choco Butternut Palitaw Balls in a medium-size pastry container, label it, and it’s ready to sell. It’s better to take orders first before making them so you won’t have any leftovers.
