It is sometimes called "coconut custard" in English and is used to make sangkhaya fakthong (สังขยาฟักทอง săngkhàyăa fákthong ; sangkhaya maryu in Lao), sangkhaya pumpkin or custard pumpkin, khao niaw sangkhaya (ข้าวเหนียวสังขยา khâao nĭaw săngkhàyăa ), glutinous rice with sangkhaya, and maphrao sangkhaya (สังขยามะพร้าว mápráao săngkhàyăa ), sangkhaya served in a coconut. Sangkhaya is one of many desserts based on Portuguese cuisine introduced by Maria Guyomar de Pinha to the Ayutthaya Kingdom.
