Like me, today I want to make kolak with ingredients that are easy to get but still delicious. In addition to its delicious taste, kolak is also easy and practical to make.
This sweet treat is one of my favorite foods at home, therefore I make it very often. Like not long ago I also shared a kolak recipe like this, the only difference is that this time I added sweet corn to the kolak.

Here are the ingredients I want to use and also the steps for making kolak.
