Description

A traditional Thai dessert with two layers—sweet pandan-infused base and lightly salted coconut cream topping—steamed in small cups. Silky, fragrant, and naturally gluten-free.


Ingredients

Bottom Layer

½ cup rice flour

¼ cup tapioca flour

¾ cup pandan juice (or water + pandan extract)

¾ cup palm sugar or brown sugar

¼ tsp salt

Top Layer

½ cup coconut cream

2 tbsp rice flour

¼ tsp salt


Instructions

  1. Grease 12 small cups or a mini muffin pan.

  2. Whisk rice flour, tapioca flour, pandan juice, palm sugar, and salt until smooth for the bottom layer.

  3. Fill each cup halfway with the bottom mixture.

  4. Steam for 5–6 minutes until just set.

  5. Whisk coconut cream, rice flour, and salt until smooth for the top layer.

  6. Pour over the base and steam another 5–7 minutes until set.

  7. Cool slightly, then serve warm or chilled.
