Once the dough is ready, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Filling

While waiting for the dough to rest, prepare the filling by following these steps:

1. Grate the palm sugar and mix it with grated coconut.
2. Heat the mixture in a pan over low heat while constantly stirring until the sugar has melted and the mixture is well combined.
3. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Now it’s time to assemble the klepon. Follow these steps:

1. Flatten a small ball of dough in your palm.
2. Place a filling ball in the center of the dough and wrap it around the filling, making sure it’s completely covered.
3. Roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball.

Repeat this step until all the dough and filling have been used up.

Step 4: Boil the Klepon

The final step is to boil the klepon. Follow these steps:

1. Boil water in a pot and add the klepon.
2. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking to each other or the bottom of the pot.
