Ginataan Dessert - Warm Coconut Soup with Sweet Potatoes
I have friends with CF and I know they need high-calorie foods to help maintain their weight. "Ginataan" is one of my favorite family desserts growing up. It is a warm coconut soup made with sweet potatoes, jack fruit, taro, and plantains. It's a unique sweet dessert that's easy to enjoy. Since it’s warm, it's also comforting.
