Kuih Lapis is a naturally vegan and gluten free kuih that's popular in Malaysia. It's soft, creamy and slightly chewy with coconut and pandan flavours plus a delightful hint of rose 🌹 The batter is easy to put together but steaming it is tedious as each layer of the kuih needs to be cooked one by one.
