Espasol is a traditional Filipino rice cake made from glutinous rice flour, coconut milk, and sugar. It is typically cooked until thickened and then wrapped in banana leaves, giving it a distinct flavor and aroma. This delicacy is often enjoyed as a snack or dessert, especially during festivals and special occasions. Originating from the province of Laguna, espasol is known for its smooth, chewy texture and sweet taste. It is usually dusted with rice flour to prevent sticking and can be served warm or at room temperature. The dish reflects the rich culinary heritage of the Philippines and showcases the use of local ingredients.
