Indonesian sweet pumpkin soup
or Indonesian call it “kolak labu kuning” is a dessert and very popular during the holy month of Ramadan. There are many different ingredients to make kolak, but basically it stewed with coconut milk, palm sugar and pandanus leaf. Many ingredients may add to make this dish such as banana, sweet potatoes, cassava or plantain. Kolak usually served warm or cold after being refrigerated for a couple hours. In this season, i love to enjoy my kolak hot straight out from the pot.

Thanks so much for the recipe. I wanted to surprise my wife who is from Ciamis and I’m from New York, but as soon as I asked her about the pandanus leaf she knew I was going to try and make something Indonesian. 🙂 Anyway, we both liked it.
Hi Emad, I‘m so happy that you both like the recipe. I can imagine how happy your wife was that you surprise her by cooking something Indonesian 😉 Regards from Germany!
