Equipment

  • 1 Pan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rice flour
  • 4 cups coconut milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 milk
  • 1/2 cup jackfruit
  • 3/4 cup purple yam
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ube extract
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • Violet food coloring
  • Yellow food coloring
  • 1/4 cup latik

Instructions

  • Glutinous rice flour and sugar should be combined in a sizable mixing dish. Mix well.
  • Condensed milk, coconut milk, and vanilla essence should be added. Mix until the consistency is smooth.
  • Cut the mixture in thirds.
  • Add the mashed purple yam, ube extract, and violet food colouring to the first portion. After a good stirring, leave aside.
  • In a food processor, shred the jackfruit (without the seed). On the second portion, combine the yellow food colouring and the processed jackfruit. Place aside. Please leave the third section alone.
  • Place the steamer in its proper position on the stovetop and add about 1 quart of water. Put the heat on and wait for the water to boil.
  • Brush coconut oil or cooking oil on a round baking pan to grease it.
  • Pour the first component, which is violet, onto the prepared baking sheet. Check to see if the mixture settles. After placing a cheesecloth over the baking pan, steam the food for 12 to 16 minutes.
  • Pour the white mixture in after removing the baking pan. Spread it over the violet mixture with a spatula. Squeeze the cheesecloth to get rid of extra water. Reposition it atop the baking sheet. another 12 to 16 minutes of steaming.
  • Pour the yellow mixture onto the baking pan after removing it from the steamer. Using a spatula, spread the mixture over the subsequent layer. Reposition the cloth on the baking sheet after attempting to squeeze out any remaining water. For 15 to 20 minutes, steam. Note: Try steaming for an additional five minutes if you believe the mixture is still a little watery.
  • Place a spotless banana leaf on top of a large serving platter. Cooking or coconut oil can be brushed on the leaves. To keep the mixture from adhering to the side of the baking pan, run a spatula that has been lightly coated with oil around the edge. Let the cooked sapin-sapin fall into the banana leaf after turning the baking pan over.
  • Apply oil with a brush on the sapin-sapin (the violet part should be on top). Add a little latik.
