This is very similar to cream caramel in texture and method. Sugar replaces with jaggery and some spices will be added.! 



























450g jaggery finely grated
4 eggs
1 can of coconut cream
1 tsp.vanilla
1 pod of cardamom crushed
1/8 tsp. grated nutmeg
handful of cashews(optional)

ps. all these spices and jaggery can be purchased from any Sri Lankan grocer.(for this particular recipe to get the correct taste ned to use Srilankan kitul jaggery not the palm sugar)



Beat the eggs until fluffy. 




Then add the jaggery and mix until jaggery dissolves






pour the can of coconut cream and beat well.












add the vanilla,grated nutmeg and crushed cardamom and mix well. Pour it into a baking dish,  cashews can be scattered on top if using.                      




This can be bake in a moderate oven for 1-11/2 hrs or on a double boiler on the cooktop for 1 hr. or until  skewer comes out clean.!! 


Can be served warm or cold
