An all-time Philippine favorite. The creamy and sticky texture makes this recipe an irresistible one. Use any type of semi-soft or hard grated cheese, such as cheddar, that suits your taste.

Coconut Cake IV

Recipe by: dannis

Be the first to review it!

This cake is soooo good and moist you should make two...that way you can be sure to get some. I take it to work and it disappears really fast. I sometimes ice it with some coconut essence-flavoured cream cheese icing and then sprinkle coconut all over the top but it's also fine plain!

Coconut Cream with Gula Melaka Syrup

Recipe by: Suhara

Be the first to review it!

I found this recipe that reminds me of panna cota but with a traditional twist using coconut milk and green pea flour. The flour gives this recipe its firmness so you may have to adjust the quantity depending on your taste but it has to be firm enough to mold.

This an ingenious way of making a custard without using an oven, or even ramekins. The custard is steamed in a small pumpkin, so that when it is ready to serve, you simply cut the pumpkin into wedges showing the wonderful layering of the pale custard and orange pumpkin.

Coconut milk and stewed sweet potatoes

Recipe by: Wiley

Be the first to review it!

This hearty dessert is very easy to make. The recipe calls for soaking the sweet potato in hydrolyzed lime water. If you can't find lime powder, you can skip this step, but the sweet potato will be soft and the sauce will be very thick.

Crushed ice with assorted sweet meats and fruits

Recipe by: Wiley

You can make this dessert as complicated as you want it. The recipe calls for certain fruits and sweets to put on top of shaved ice, but you can use whatever is available to you. You can use lychees, pineapple, mango chunks or whatever is in season and in your market. This is a very refreshing dessert on a hot day or after a spicy meal.

Ubod is the heart of the coconut palm, hence this fried lumpia has a very unique coconutty flavor.

Geng Massaman (Muslim Thai Beef Curry)

Recipe by: Wiley

Be the first to review it!

This is a very rich curry of beef stewed in coconut milk and massasan curry paste, studded with potatoes, peanuts and carrots. The flavor emphasis is on sweet and sour, rather than super spicy. Massaman curry paste can be found in most Thai fresh markets, or just ask the beef butcher where to find it.
