If you love Suman with its mild flavor and grainy mouthfeel, you will adore Letye's quintessential rice cake with its smooth texture and chocolatey and (sometimes) nutty flavors. It is also fairly easy to make and would be a great breakfast or afternoon snack for your family.

What is it?

Suman Morón or Chocolate Morón (pronounced with the stress on the last syllable) or Muron, is an Eastern Visayan sweet rice cake comparable to the Suman that we all know. Moron, however, is made by rolling two layers together. The first layer is vanilla flavored while the second one is mixed with cocoa powder and sometimes with peanuts added.

It is a popular delicacy in Leyte specifically in Tacloban City. It is always a part of local festivities such as fiestas, festivals, and birthdays. You will also see these commonly sold in pasalubong shops or stalls for tourists to bring home to their family and friends.

Typically paired with hot coffee or Tsokolate Batirol, a Filipino hot chocolate drink, for a complete breakfast or snack.

How to Wrap Chocolate Moron

  • Clean the banana leaf and cut into 6x10 inch rectangles. Prepare them by carefully heating to make them more pliable.
  • You can brush them with oil or butter to prevent the mixture from sticking to the leaves.
  • Place two spoonful of the vanilla-flavored mixture and flatten them in a 6x4- inch rectangle on the banana leaf. Place two spoonful of the chocolate mixture directly on top of the vanilla one and flatten it as well.
  • Gently roll the layers together in a cylinder and tie the ends with kitchen twine.

You can also intertwine the vanilla and chocolate mix together instead of rolling the layers together. To do so, just roll the vanilla mixture into a ¾ inch log and do the same with the chocolate mixture. Place them side by side and then twist them together until it forms into one big roll.

Serving and Storing

You can enjoy the Chocolate Moron as is, but you can also add a few ingredients to make it extra special.

  • You can add cheese to the vanilla mixture to give it a savory taste that will contrast well with the sweetness of chocolate.
  • As mentioned above, it is best served with hot coffee or a hot chocolate drink.
  • If you have a sweet tooth and would like to amp the sweetness, you can drizzle some latik or caramel syrup.
  • If you would like it to have a more native flavor, you can also enjoy it with grated coconut on top.

For leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for up to 5 days to a week. Warm it using a microwave oven or steamer when you are ready to eat some more!

      I’m drooling. I’ve been craving for this for a while now.

      Question: Banana leaves is scarce here and expensive. Is there something that can I can use to substitute it?

      Thank you.

        Using purely sticky rice will give you a very sticky dough it would be like tikoy. But if you are ok with that then sure go ahead.
