Ice Kacang Recipe is the most famous Malaysian dessert recipe.
Otherwise known as Ais Kacang or ABC (Air Batu Campur), ice kacang is a popular local dessert consisting of shaved ice topped with Gula Melaka syrup or colored syrup, toasted peanuts and evaporated milk.
It’s a popular dessert commonly sold by street vendors. Different choices give different tastes… There are regular ABCs, corn, special and maybe there are wafer sticks as extra. Some stalls have even introduced novelty toppings such as durian and chocolate syrup.
Children love helping assemble this dessert, which is such a refreshing treat in Malaysia, where temperatures are above 80 degrees F for much of the year. Traditionally, an ice shaving machine is used to churn out the shaved ice used in the dessert, originally hand cranked but now more often motorised.
