Suman

Suman is a traditional dessert originating from the Philippines. This sweet rice cake is usually made with a combination of sticky rice, brown sugar, and coconut milk. A combination of coconut milk and brown sugar is simmered in a pot over medium heat until it becomes slightly thick, and it's then mixed with the cooked rice. The mixture is slightly cooled, then wrapped in banana leaves in the shape of a log. The wrapped suman is cooked in water or steamed, then left to cool. The dessert is usually drizzled with coconut-caramel sauce before serving.
