TODAY'S RECIPE: Halo halo
Blog Commentary: Another dessert. Even though we had a recipe dessert yesterday, I was still in a dessert mood as we had thai for dinner. The most important thing about this dessert is getting the right type (as I figured out when making this) of glass because if it's to tall, you can't scoop ALL THE WAY down the glass without soaking your hand, unless you have a long spoon. If the glass is too wide or you use a bowl, everything seems to blob all the together. I would recommend the glass they use in the picture or a brandy glass. Another challenge was probably cutting the jackfruit. You can buy jackfruit in a can but again, the fresher the ingredient, the better. If you don't know how to cut a jackfruit (like me) here's a youtube vid I referenced: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTUhf-CQnbc . Great thing about this dessert is that there's no baking involved. I changed from the coconut to macapuno because I like the taste better and also changed the milk to evaporated/condensed milk. Again, I like the sweets! NOTE: The recipe is for 4 glasses. The procedures is by the glass.
