DANGER: Filipino dessert with calories galore - labradors - 03-06-2009 Here's a dessert recipe that was posted on the Filipino forum a couple of days ago. Despite its French name, nobody seems to know its actual origin, though further Internet searches definitely showed the association of this dessert with the Philippines, and not France. Usually, it is made with cashews, but it may be made with almonds, instead, as in this recipe. The person who posted the recipe is a native Filipino who now lives in California, and he also was one of the people who helped me with some of my questions about Lumpia, earlier. The picture is from the posted recipe. Quote: Sounds incredibly good, but I would probably prefer it with the apparently-more-common cashews. Unfortunately, this is not the kind of thing a single guy with no roommates needs to have sitting around the apartment, so it may be a while before I try it - if at all. LOL! Re: DANGER: Filipino dessert with calories galore - cjs - 03-06-2009 Hmmm, looks interesting - I'm copying the recipe to take over to my Filipino neighbor, Neri, and see if it is familiar to her. Re: DANGER: Filipino dessert with calories galore - labradors - 03-06-2009 Cool! Would love to hear feedback on it, especially as to which she would consider more typical: cashews or almonds. Re: DANGER: Filipino dessert with calories galore - Mare749 - 03-06-2009 It does sound interesting, especially with the almonds. Can't wrap my mind around cashews in this one. Don't think I've ever seen a Filipino dessert recipe before. It is rich, but note that there is not a lot of sugar in it. Oops, just saw the cup of sugar in the wafers. Spoke too soon! |
