Kutsinta by Helen

Introducing Kutsinta – a quintessential Filipino dessert that captures hearts with its unique texture and color. These steamed rice cakes, with their alluring amber hue, blend the mild sweetness of brown sugar with the subtle flavors of lye water and annatto extract. With a delightful, chewy consistency reminiscent of mochi, each Kutsinta is best enjoyed with a generous sprinkle of freshly grated coconut on top.   RECIPE BY LOCAL COOK Helen G.
