Kalamay

Kalamay is a sticky sweet made from coconut milk, brown sugar and ground glutinous rice, eaten as a standalone confection or used as a sweetener in other Filipino dishes and drinks, with optional flavorings such as margarine, peanut butter or vanilla. It originates in the Philippines, particularly the Visayas and Luzon, where its production has been documented since the Spanish colonial period; the word kalamay itself means sugar in several Visayan languages. It is a popular pasalubong, or homecoming gift, with regional variants such as the Bohol version sold inside halved coconut shells sealed with red crepe paper.
