- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 can evaporated milk
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter/margarine

Instructions
- Soak unpeeled gabi in water and brush the skin to get rid of dirt. Transfer the washed gabi to a pot and fill it with water until fully covered.
- Cover the pot with the lid and bring to boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Drain the water and let water run through the gabi to cool it down faster. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and shred/ grate coarsely. Set aside.
- In a pot or wide, deep pan, combine the coconut milk, evaporated milk, and sugar. Stir until well combined and sugar is dissolved.
- Add the grated gabi and and mix. Turn heat to medium-low and let it simmer while stirring regularly until it becomes very thick and heavy.
- Add butter and stir until melted and well incorporated. Cook for about 2-3 minutes more and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Grease 2 -3 llanera molds generously with butter. Divide the kalamay gabi into the llaneras and let it cool down to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or until cold.
- Top with Latik or grated cheese before serving.
