Latík (Tagalog pronunciation: [laˈtɪk] lah-TIK) refers to two different ingredients in Philippine cuisine. In the north it refers to solid coconut curds, the byproducts of coconut oil production, used as garnishing for a variety of desserts. In the Visayan region it refers to a thick syrupy caramelized coconut cream used as a dessert condiment.

Tagalog Latik

Latík in Luzon is made from coconut milk simmered in a saucepan until it reduces to coconut oil and solids begin to form at the top surface. These solids are left to fry in the coconut oil until golden brown.[1][2]

Latík is commonly used as toppings for a variety of Philippine dishes including maja blanca, sapin-sapin, and ube halaya.(mashed purple yam).[3][4]

They are sometimes mistaken for fried caramelized coconut flesh (another type of garnishing/dessert known as bukayo in Bisaya).[1]

Visayan Latik

Latík in Bisaya literally means 'syrup' (equivalent to the term arnibal in Hiligaynon). It can refer to any type of thick sweetened liquids including jam.[5] In the most common usage, however, latik means a syrupy condiment derived from reducing coconut milk and sugar.[6][7]

It is used much in the same way as syrup, in dishes like kalamay and suman.[8]
