This ain’t your mama’s “fruit cake”! This light and refreshing beauty is an absolute showstopper, and nothing says “summer treats” more than these gorgeous cubes of fruit-embedded jelly. The coconut layer adds an extra tropical flare! The fruit combination I used: mango, papaya, pineapple, lychee, kiwi and blueberries, is a winning combination, but you can […]

If you’ve never had tapioca cookies before, it’s a must-try experience! These little cookies have a crumbly texture similar to meringue cookies, but as you chew they turn into a creamy coconutty goodness in your mouth! With the aroma of coconut and pandan leaves, the fun texture, and the fact that they’re so tiny, I have […]

This dish really embodies the spirit of rustic, simply Thai home cooking. If you grow banana trees, you’ll know that when they bare fruit, they bare a LOT of fruit all at once! So this is a dish my grandmother always makes whenever our banana tree bore fruit, and it’s a go-to dish because it’s so […]

Ginger + Warm milk = Pudding. That’s it. No agar agar, no gelatin, no cornstarch…nothing to set the pudding other than the ginger itself! I recently came upon this Chinese dessert and I was absolutely fascinated by how it’s made and just HAD to share it with you. It’s a super soft, warm ginger pudding, […]

A ridiculously simple ice cream recipe that is also ridiculously delicious! This mango ice cream is done in a blitz (literally!) using only a blender and 3-4 simple ingredients. Trust me, you’ll be amazed, as I was, at how good this ice cream is given how easy and quick it is to make! Now every […]

So excited to share with you the traditional recipe that inspired my wildly popular Mango Coconut Jelly Cubes recipe! In this dessert, there are two layers representing two different life stages of the coconut: coconut water from a young coconut, and coconut milk from a mature one. Perfumed with aromatic pandan leaf, the combination is […]

Creme brulee  is an easy-but-elegant dessert to make at home, and it’s a great one to make in advance! It’s also a perfect candidate for being “Thai-ified”. The flavour of Thai tea works wonders with the creaminess of the custard, and the slight bitterness of the tea actually balances the richness and sweetness, making it […]

Don’t let the word “tofu” stop you! This recipe has become my favourite to make when I need a delicious and decadent dessert in a snap. Not to mention it is vegan and gluten-free so I never have to worry about who’s coming over! Compared to a classic chocolate mousse, it is far easier, healthier, […]

I fused together two traditional Thai desserts and gave it a bit of a twist, and the result was absolutely divine! Warm and luscious black sticky rice pudding with creamy coconut ice cream, refreshed by sweet-tart caramelized pineapple. It’s a beautiful dessert that can be easily made in advance, not to mention it’s gluten-free, dairy-free and […]
