Sankya lapov (សង់ខ្យាល្ពៅ) or lpov sangkya denominates a dessert in Cambodia which is made of pumpkin and coconut custard.An easily recognizable characteristic of the dessert is that the flan fills the interior part of the pumpkin and that the pumpkin is often presented in its entirety.
The word sankya may be related to the Sanskrit Samkhya (सांख्य), which denominates one of the six schools of classical Indian philosophy. However, any etymological or contextual relationship remains unresearched. Lapov means pumpkin in Khmer.
The dessert is also known in Thailand where it carries the name sangkhaya fakthong (Thai: สังขยาฟักทอง; IPA: [saŋ-kʰa-jaː fak tʰɔːŋ]; transcription: săng-khà-yăa fákthong) and in Laos where it is called sangkhaya maryu.
The similarity of both, the Khmer sankya and the Thai sangkhaya with the Sanskrit samkhya may indicate a common origin in the Khmer Empire's Hindu past.
