Klepon is a traditional snack that is famous for being delicious. Its sweet, savory taste and chewy texture make klepon popular with various groups, both children and adults. Klepon is usually sprinkled with grated coconut to add a savory taste and richer texture.
It has a small round shape with a striking green color that comes from pandan leaves. Apart from that, the outside of the klepon is also chewy, while the inside is filled with sweet liquid brown sugar. When bitten, the soft brown sugar melts in the mouth, creating a unique sweet taste sensation.
Unfortunately, not everyone can make klepon with melted filling, you know. Instead of melting, the brown sugar filling tends to be hard and drags when eaten. This usually happens when brown sugar is used straight away for filling.
In fact, there are certain tricks to making klepon so that the filling melts better and breaks apart in your mouth. This trick was shared by YouTube user Annisaa Hawarizmi. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that the sugar filling needed to be cooked first so that it melted better.
The dough that floats indicates that the klepon is cooked. But don't lift it straight away, leave it for 3-5 minutes so that it is completely cooked. Then drain the klepon and coat it with grated coconut which has been steamed with salt and pandan leaves. Then serve the klepon.
