This Filipino sweet rice dessert is a sticky rice cake in a simple syrup or flavored sugar syrup.
The sweet rice flour is cooked with coconut milk, sugar and latik or fried coconut curd.
Then, the latik is enveloped in the cake rather than sprinkled on top.
A simply syrup is cooked separate where the cake bite size pieces are floated to keep them separated, thus, easier to serve.
But if you would rather do the Kalamay without the arnibal, see recipe for the plain Kalamay-Kapit here.

INGREDIENTS
1 Make the simple syrup by boiling the sugar and water and flavor with jackfruit. Set aside.

4 Place the mixture in a non-stick skillet and stir until they come together, about 5 minutes.
