Kashata (East African Dessert)
We're staying on an African theme for today too. :) This sweet treat is popular during holidays in East Africa. It is very easy to make and quite delicious. Make sure that the mixture is still hot enough to mold, otherwise it would harden and you can't make the balls anymore. Easy and yummy! Enjoy!
