Recipe 13/50 : Sri Lanka : Vattalapam

Vattalapam is  a coconut custard with lots of spices and crust with delicious nuts. This dessert is very famous in Sri Lanka. I loved this dessert so much that I decided to make this again. I'm very tired today and lack words to describe the taste of this recipe. Enjoy by making this at home!!!
