Kapit

Kapit is a Filipino delicacy which is popular as snack or dessert. Known for its sticky texture, sweet taste and coconut flavor. Other recipes include langka (jackfruit) as toppings for this dessert. In the town where I grew up, we like it simple and just top it with coconut curd. This sweet sticky treat is easy and cheap to prepare. The sticky composition of the dish is where it got it’s name from. Usually sold in old markets, my mother would bring home some for us when we were kids.

Enjoy this sticky, sweet delicacy as an afternoon snack or dessert.

The secret ingredient is always LOVE

Tips for Kapit

• You can place lanka (jackfruit) as toopings.
