With its rich flavour and irresistible texture, this traditional sweet tends to be a bit addictive because our taste buds are sure to yearn for more of the magical experience. Full-fat milk and coconut cooked together give this sweet an intense flavour and amazing, coarse texture, while cardamom casts a pleasant spell on our palate! An all-time favourite with people of all ages, the Kopra Pak can be stored in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
