Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups of glutinous rice flour
- 2 cups of coconut milk
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of mango puree
- 1/4 cup of lime juice
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a non-stick saucepan, combine glutinous rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, mango puree, lime juice, butter, and salt. Mix well until everything is well combined.
2. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. The mixture will start to thicken and become more difficult to stir.
3. Keep stirring until the mixture becomes thick and shiny. This should take about 20-25 minutes.
4. Once the mixture is thick, pour it into a square baking dish lined with parchment paper. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
5. Let the mixture cool down to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until it is firm.
6. Once the dodol is firm, remove it from the baking dish and cut it into small squares.
