Authentic Thai Recipe for Pumpkin and Coconut Custard | สังขยาฟักทอง | Sang Ka Ya Fak Tong

The pumpkin custard known as San Ka Ya is a popular Thai street food snack that can be purchased from vendors by the slice. When served whole and sliced at the table it makes a nice dessert for any type of meal. Watch as we show you how easy it is to make this interesting and very authentic Thai food for your next party, dinner, or to keep in the frig for a nice treat. For this demonstration we used a kabocha squash, also known as the Japanese pumpkin. It is very similar to the Buttercup squash, and has a firm green skin, a strong and delicious sweet flavor, and moist, fluffy texture.
