Nostalgia # 19: Halayang Kalabasa

Yesterday, a co-parent gave me Halayang Kalabasa or Squash Maja. Procedures of cooking this is the same as Halayang Ube with also the same ingredients. Squash are cut into cubes then cooked in milk coconut and milk with constant stirring.

My children were surprised since it was their first time to see this recipe and could hardly believe it just taste so good and didn't even realize it was made of squash. I told them my mother used to cook this kind of dessert since we have tons of squash that we grow in the farm then. Halayang Kalabasa just reminds me how sweet our mother was for preparing this kind of dessert. If not with my co-parent, I wouldn't be able to tell my children about Halayang kalabasa and how it has become the sweetest part of our childhood years. Thanks Melody for this special dessert.
