Today I will make a sweet snack to break the fast. I looked at the refrigerator and saw the black grass jelly stock.
Well, have you ever heard of black grass jelly? Usually this ingredient is used for a mixture of drinks that are popular in Asia such as Indonesia, China and so on.
Black grass jelly has a chewy texture. Made from a type of grass which is then thickened and becomes a jelly texture.
So we will be familiar with finding black grass jelly in desserts with other mixtures such as banana and sweet potato.
For today, I also have a supply of honey sweet potato. The honey sweet potato type is sweeter and has a softer texture. Usually it is used for sweet dishes like the one I made.
I also have ripe bananas and are suitable for mixing this dessert menu. Some time ago, I also shared this menu on this blog, but the difference is that I bought it at a local shop. While this time I will prepare this menu in my own kitchen.
So, let's start the adventure of serving popular desserts in cafes around me. Instead of buying this menu, today I made a homemade menu. 😊❤️
THE INGREDIENTS
- 100 grams of grass jelly
- 200 grams of sweet potatoes
- 4 ripe bananas
- 100 grams of brown sugar
- 65 ml of coconut milk or coconut cream
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
My first step I cut the sweet potatoes into cubes. Soak them in water to remove the sticky sap.
Also, slice the bananas, I cut the bananas diagonally.
STEP 2
Then I cut the grass jelly into small cubes. Or according to your taste.
Then, I also thinly sliced the brown sugar so that it would dissolve more easily.
STEP 3
Boil 1 liter of water. Then, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add pieces of sweet potatoes. Boiled for about 10-15 minutes.
STEP 4
Add ripe bananas, cook for a while. Then add sliced brown sugar.
Cook until the brown sugar dissolves. Turn off the heat.
STEP 5
After the heat is turned off, add coconut milk or coconut cream. You can also use almond milk or oat milk according to your taste.
SERVING
I suggest this dish is served cold for a hot day. But for breaking the fast, I choose to serve this dish for hot dessert.
Hot dessert for a filling and comfortable breaking fast food. See you at my next recipe!
