ESPASOL
Espasol is a type of rice cake that is made of rice flour cooked in coconut
milk. This cylindrically shaped treat originated from the Province of Laguna
and is visible in almost all bus stops and “pasalubong” stores.

Like the other famous rice-puddings (or kakanin), there are various ways in
making Espasol. I’ll be showing you one of the simple ways on how to make
this fabulous dessert. Say adieu to your cravings and start making your own
delicious Espasol.

Espasol are cylindrical rice cakes that originated in the Philippine province of Laguna.
Popularly sold on major thoroughfares, bus stops and specialty shops in Laguna, this
rice cake is made out of toasted rice flour and coconut strips cooked in coconut milk
then dusted with toasted rice flour.

Its relatively easy to make, nothing to technical about the cooking procedure, the
only had part in preparing for this one is mixing it while it cooks which needs a bit of
brawn to achieve. Try this one out if you haven’t made something like this before, it
is good filling snack.
