Sapin-sapin

Philippines · Southeast Asia

Short description: This dessert is chewy, coconut-rich, and served in neat colorful slices after steaming.
Ingredients: Glutinous rice flour, rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, condensed milk, ube, jackfruit, food coloring, and toasted coconut curds.
Cultural note: Its name refers to layering, and the visual pattern matters almost as much as the soft sticky texture.
Common misconception: It is not a cake baked from wheat flour; the chew comes from glutinous rice flour.
