Fried Milk
Fried Milk is a unique dessert featuring a thickened mixture of coconut milk, milk, sugar, and cornstarch that is chilled and then cut into strips. These strips are coated in cornstarch, egg, and breadcrumbs before being deep-fried until crisp and golden. The contrast between the creamy interior and the crispy exterior creates an interesting texture. This dessert offers a pleasantly rich coconut-milk flavor with a crunchy shell, making it a distinctive snack or sweet treat.
