Kutsinta

(Kuchinta, Cuchinta, Puto Kutsinta, Kutchinta)

Kutsinta is a sweet Filipino delicacy made with glutinous rice flour, brown sugar, and lye water. The mixture is steamed in small round molds and it is traditionally served topped with coconut flakes. These chewy cakes are usually infused with food coloring or annatto seeds in order to achieve their typical dark brown color. These sweet treats are usually enjoyed as a satisfying dessert or a quick afternoon snack.
