Indonesian Sweet Pretty Dessert (Cantik Manis)
August 10, 2012

using coconut milk but here I used evaporated milk. Originally, these
dessert use banana leaves for wrapping. As I cannot get banana leaves
around my house so I just spoon it into small glasses. Indonesia Eats author's Pepy using a silicon moulds and putu ayu mould. You can check the mould here.Indonesia Eats.com
