Pitsi-Pitsi with Coco Chantilly

MANILA, Philippines — Kakanins or native delicacies are usually served on pieces of banana leaves with a generous sprinkling of grated coconut on top.

‘Tis the same with Puto and Cuchinta, but in the case of Pitsi-Pitsi, or Pichi-Pichi, the sprinkling may be loads of or just the right amount of grated coconut or shredded cheese.

Here, this recipe by cilinary icon "Tita" Glenda Barretto, restaurateur extraordinaire behind Via Mare, elevates the simple pitsi-pitsi to a ‘sosyal’ level. She shared it in a Culinary Elite Series class held in The Maya Kitchen.
