Description
Khanom Chan is a traditional Thai dessert known for its beautiful layers and sweet, coconut flavor. This Southeast Asian delight is made with rice flour and coconut cream, creating a soft and chewy texture that is both satisfying and visually appealing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups water
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour and tapioca flour.
- In a saucepan, heat coconut cream, sugar, and water until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Gradually add the coconut mixture to the flour mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Divide the batter into two portions. Add food coloring to one portion if desired.
- Grease a steaming tray and pour a thin layer of the uncolored batter.
- Steam for 5 minutes or until set.
- Pour a layer of the colored batter and steam for another 5 minutes.
- Repeat the layering process until all batter is used, ensuring each layer is steamed before adding the next.
- Once all layers are steamed, allow the dessert to cool completely before cutting into pieces.
Notes
- Ensure each layer is fully set before adding the next to maintain distinct layers.
- Use natural food coloring for a healthier option.
