Sapin-sapin is a layered glutinous rice and coconut dessert in Philippine cuisine. It is made from rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, water, flavoring, and coloring. It is usually sprinkled with latik or grated coconut among other toppings. The dessert is recognizable for its layers, each colored separately.[2]

The name originates the Tagalog word sapin which means "underlayer " (e.g. a blanket sheet, compare with Cebuano hapin). When reduplicated as sapin-sapin, it means "having several layers".[3][4]
