Kanom Piak Poon (Thai Coconut and Pandan Pudding)
Kanom piak poon is a thickened Thai sweet made of coconut, rice flour, and pandan.
80 g rice flour
40 g arrowroot starch
200 g sugar
600 ml limewater (saturated calcium hydroxide solution)
200 ml fresh pandan juice
200 ml of coconut milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup grated coconut meat
Combine the rice flour, arrowroot, and lime water. Stir in the sugar, water, pandan juice, coconut milk, and salt until the sugar dissolves. Strain this mixture into a brass pan or pot to remove any solids.
Heat the pan over low heat. Stir the mixture continuously over low heat to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Cook until the mixture is glossy and thickened. This will take about 30â40 minutes.
30â40 minutes
Pour the mixture into an oiled mold. Smooth the top, then let rest until cool.
When the pudding is cooled, use a knife to cut into the desired shape. Serve with grated coconut.
