[homemade] Cantonese Dessert

It is a multi-layer water-chestnut starch cake with coconut milk, a kind of Cantonese dessert. I made it at home.

The brown layer is made of water chestnut, a specialty fruit in Canton. while the white one is blended with coconut milk.

It is not difficult to make, although lots of patience are needed. I’ve spent almost one hour waiting for the layers to be steamed well in the picture, 5 minutes each.

If you do not want to waste so much time, the dessert can also be found in Cantonese tea house, as one of dim sums. Besides, you can easily find the recipe on YouTube.

I’ve made it several times, with clear layers, beautiful and colorful apperance, and delicious taste😋.

The flavor is usually contains refreshing and softly sweet fruity aroma，inter-winded with rich flavor of coconut milk. But this time, with not enough sugar, it is too plain in taste.
