Over the weekend we made this “Coconut Milk Tapioca Dessert” for our family!  Growing up, this was one of my favourite Chinese desserts, and I’d always get so excited whenever one of the Chinese restaurants we went to served it at the end of our meal 🙂  I was ecstatic when I found a great recipe for it on Wantanmien’s youtube channel HERE.  It tastes so good, and the addition of watermelon, mango and honeydew makes it very refreshing and perfect for the summer!  I followed her recipe pretty closely, but I omitted the salt (I tried it with the salt before, and we didn’t quite like it), and instead of using white sugar we used yellow rock sugar (which is common in many Chinese desserts).  I multiplied the recipe by 6 to make enough for 7 people.

When I first found Wantanmien’s youtube channel, I became obsessed with all her videos as she clearly explains how to make many of my favourite Chinese dishes and desserts with incredible precision (e.g. Hong Kong pineapple buns, mango pudding, sticky rice).  If you haven’t seen her channel before, check it out HERE.  Her videos are in Cantonese, but if you click the “CC” button you can see the English subtitles, and you can see the ingredients in English in the description box as well.  I’ve tried a few of her recipes, and they’ve all turned out great!  Can’t wait to try more 😀
