Consisting of over 17,000 islands, Indonesia offers a variety of desserts found across the archipelago. Whether it is baked, steamed, boiled or fried, the choices are endless for anyone with a sweet tooth. Coconut milk is a mainstay in Indonesian desserts, a perfect complement for an after meal sweet that include bubur injin, or black rice pudding. While the jajanan pasar, or traditional snacks, are available everywhere as both sweet and savoury treats, es teler is also a favourite among many looking for a quick, sweet thirst quencher. With shredded fresh coconut, bites of jackfruit and avocado, this cold dessert is perfectly topped with crushed ice and condensed milk.
