Hello, I'm Ping Joven welcome to Pinoy Desserts the home of Filipino Dessert Recipes, I love sweets and I love to share my goodies with my family and friends. I’ve spent so much time in our kitchen even though I don’t have formal cooking education, but I cook and bake a lot. I have a large collection of cookbooks. I love watching Foodnetwork Channel & YouTube cooking videos it helps me develop my skills. To my fellow home cooks and home-bakers we should keep doing what we love and enjoy being creative in the kitchen. I also love taking photos of my food but, I’m not a good photographer, so I just hope and pray that my food will make you hungry, so you won’t notice my bad composition LOL. And lastly, please have mercy on my poor writing skills, English subject has always giving me a headache and as I compose this bio I can feel a migraine starts to kick in LOL.
Thanks for visiting, have a nice day and may the blessings chase you today!
Hope i can make this as good as you do since it looks good! :3
This Torta Mamon recipe is very tasty and very rich, I know you can do it. Enjoy baking 🙂
hi, did you use the bottled coconut juice or the ones in tetrapack? i’d really want to try your recipe, and fresh coconut juice is kind of difficult to find in this part of the world. thanks
I used the fresh juice on this recipe but of course you can use the bottled or packed coconut juice.
hi is it coconut milk or water from the coconut itself… you know when you cut the coconut open water will come out.. so is that what you called coconut juice?
Yep you’re right the transparent water from the coconut itself “coconut juice” also known as “buko juice”.
Hello! How many tortas (regular size tins) for this recipe? Thanks!
Hi Joe that recipe makes a dozen of Tortas but if you use a smaller tins like 3oz. muffin tin you can yield 18 tortas.
Thanks for the INFO!
Thank you so much for sharing your own recipe. I don’t use lard when cooking (never will I), so it is nice to have your recipe. We don’t have tuba here in the US either (or at least where I am at) and coconut juice is a goo substitute. I want to make these for my son’s teachers and hopefully they will love it. It will be something they haven’t tasted before. I used to enjoy some Tortang Mamon every time we travel to Cebu and it was always a treat for me as a kid. I miss it. Thanks again!
you’re welcome 🙂
I’m baking torta right now of course very excited what it’s gonna turned out. I’m originally from Cebu and currently living in Florida. Torta was very popular back in time especially during fiesta. Tita’s recipe I was basically browsing, but yours looks just fine though. Thanks for sharing.
you’re welcome 🙂
I’ve made torta before but I’ve never made this version with the anise star and syrup. How long do you leave the star in the syrup?
Sorry for the super late reply, you can leave it until it cools down.
Hi. Where can you buy Torta molds? Thanks
You can buy them on the baking supplies section at the grocery store.
What size of torta molds did you use?
I think the large size, I can’t find my molder right now I forgot where I store them sorry 🙁
i made this today and it is sooo yummy. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Hi Michelle. I wanna try this recipe but first I wanna know if the torta is dense or soft. I’m looking for a recipe that is light and not too dense. Thanks
Thank you for the recipe. I’ve been looking for this because this is one of my favorites back home..Yours is simple n easy to follow. I’d tried it and it was soft n yummy, just the way I liked it.
You’re Welcome Pie and I’m glad you like the recipe 🙂
Hi! Thanks for sharing your recipe. Is your torta dense? I am looking for a recipe that is not too dense. I made one last week and was disappointed that it was bit heavy and too dense for my taste. When I was growing up, this was my favourite snack that I used to buy at a local bakeshop 🙂 and I still clearly remember that the torta that I used to snack on was light (it wasn’t mamon”) and just love the anis flavour in it!
What fresh milk do you use? Can I used canned evaporated milk?
Hi Chris, I used Nestle fresh milk, but evaporated milk is much creamier and better. thanks for visiting and have a nice day!
Hi if i use fresh tuba:.. i still boil it? Do i need baking powder if tuba is used?
Hi, yes po bring to a boil and let it cool down bago gamitin, add baking soda para umalsa ang mamon natin.
ay sorry baking powder pala haha..
