Lompat Tikam (Malaysian Jelly Dessert) Recipe

Back in the band days, Kaila and I had the opportunity to tour in Malaysia performing in our rock band. While we were there, I had the honor of trying an unusual but absolutely unforgettable Malaysian jelly dessert. That’s why I decided to share this Lompat Tikam Recipe provided by the Malaysian Tourism Board.

This is an easy to intermediate recipe to make. Now, I don’t want to deter you if you’re a beginner cook, but there are multiple steps to get to the end results.

The dish is a sweet rice jelly dish made from coconut milk, rice, and rice flour. I didn’t have the exact ingredients to make it, but I had substitutions that still made it equally delicious and easier to make.
