Steemit Traditional Christmas Desserts / Watalappan

A Brown colour pudding which has small holes throughout it and with a syrup is a usual sight in Sri Lankan dessert tables of festivals and ceremonies. That pudding is called Watalappan and almost everyone loves not only the sweet taste but also the divine smell of Watalappan.

Origin of this food is from Malay people of my country as I heard and the 1st time I taste it was at a wedding.
As tomorrow is Christmas I thought to make the everyone's favorite dessert. In my opinion, our Christmas dinner table is incomplete without Watalappan.

Jaggery, coconut milk , water, eggs, cashew nuts, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg were the only ingredients you need.

At first I melted jaggery with water after crushing it.

Then all I had to do were adding egg yolk and spices into it and let it steam for 45 minutes.

After putting it in the refrigerator you can see the final look as follow.

To get the best taste of Watalappan I think it is mandatory to add Vanila ice cream.
Can't wait to see how everyone enjoy this pudding at tomorrow night.

Thank you @yolimarag for this lovely contest.
