PUTO CHEESE – SOFT & FLUFFY FILIPINO STEAMED RICE CAKE

FLUFFY PUTO CHEESE [STEAMED CAKE]

Puto cheese is a colorful favorite in the Philippines, with steam rice cakes called puto providing smooth texture and cheesy-flavor profiles. Puto is a steamed snack that was originally created using only rice flour, water, and sugar; soft and mildly sweet with endless possibilities in terms of topping the base carbs.

Cheese is even added, usually a slice of cheddar or processed cheese, which provides a lovely contrast between the sweetness of the puto and the salty character of the cheese. This powerful combination has come to be a staple during Filipino get-togethers, particularly through the vacations and household events; and really loved by all ages for its more unique flavor with that cozy, recognizable taste.
