One of the many kakanin (rice cakes) found in the Philippines, Espasol is toasted glutinous flour cooked slowly in sugar and coconut milk. While this pillowy, sticky dessert requires only four ingredients and is straightforward to make, it takes a lot of muscle to mix! For those who prefer a bit of texture, you can add shredded young coconut during the cooking process. This sweet delicacy is traditionally served during the holiday season but you can find these in various pasalubong (souvenir) stalls around the region.
