Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk (full fat)
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 20 g Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Edible rose water
- 3 tbsp Desiccated coconut
- 2 tbsp Edible dried rose petals (optional for garnish)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the saucepan with the coconut milk mixture.
Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken (about 5-7 minutes). Ensure there are no lumps.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, edible rose water, and desiccated coconut. Mix well to combine.
Pour the mixture evenly into 4 small dessert glasses or bowls. Allow the dessert to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.
Before serving, garnish each dessert with a sprinkle of edible dried rose petals and a fresh mint leaf, if desired, for a beautiful presentation.
Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy, fragrant Coco Blossom!
