By admin | December 14, 2009
This Coconut milk recipe is a popular Thai dessert and uses a mixture of Taro and Thai Sticky Rice flour. Although best when served hot, our coconut milk recipe may be eaten cold as well. This Thai Dessert is called Bua Loy Pheuak in Thailand and children and not just a few adults will love this sweet creamy dessert.
Ingredients for Coconut Milk Recipe with Taro Pearls
2 Cups Taro, steamed and mashed
2 Cups Glutinous rice flour

1/2 Cup Coconut Cream

1. Using a steamer, cook the Taro until soft. Remove the Taro from the steamer and peel off the skin. Mash the pulp and set aside
2. Into a large bowl add the Glutinous rice flour, mashed Taro and Water and knead together until the dough is firm. If too dry, add a few extra drops of water.

My husband and I went to a Thai restaurant recently and he got this as his dessert. The Taro Balls were brightly colored, so we likened them to fruit loops. How neat it is to see what they are really made of.
