Chapter Eight
Desserts
A quick sampling of Indonesian desserts will immediately demonstrate
that this nation is still very fond of homestyle cakes and confections
made with natural ingredients rather than processed and overly sweet
manufactured products. Most of the desserts in this chapter feature
Indonesia’s spectacular array of tropical fruits. Sweet Potatoes in
Coconut Milk (page 109) with its exotic pandan leaves and palm sugar is
perfect for cold days, while the national favorite, Tropical Shaved Ice
with Fruit, is as visually stunning as it is flavorful and ideal for hot sultry
days.
