Sweet Potato and Banana Desserts With Black Grass Jelly

Looking for a unique dessert variation and this is the answer.

IMG_3559.jpeg
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.

IMG_3570.jpegI 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

IMG_3571.jpeg

  • 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

IMG_3567.jpeg
My first step I cut the sweet potatoes into cubes. Soak them in water to remove the sticky sap.

IMG_3565.jpegAlso, slice the bananas, I cut the bananas diagonally.



STEP 2

IMG_3566.jpeg
Then I cut the grass jelly into small cubes. Or according to your taste.


IMG_3564.jpegThen, I also thinly sliced ​​the brown sugar so that it would dissolve more easily.



STEP 3

IMG_3427.jpegBoil 1 liter of water. Then, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add pieces of sweet potatoes. Boiled for about 10-15 minutes.



STEP 4

IMG_3435.jpeg

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

IMG_3554.jpeg
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!

Yeah, Indonesian love to eat black grass jelly, or green grass jelly type especially during hot day because grass jelly has colling effect in the body 😊

Well, it's the first time I've seen this jelly, but I'm sure it's very tasty, your homemade creation. I was also struck by the fact that sugar is like a raspadura, a sweet that is made from the juice of the sugar cane. We used to eat that as children.

Greetings, friend! 😋

Yeah I already tried black grass jelly, in a can. It was given to us before but I can't really remember how it taste. This dessert looks so yummy, just add boiled or steamed glutinous flour in a round shape and it will be that dessert in the Philippines called Bilo-Bilo 🤤🤤. It has coconut milk too hehe. Seeing this made me crave for it. This is surely the best hot dessert to have as a snacks.

That is plant based jelly, similar with "agar". You can search from Asian cuisine for sure 😊

Black grass jelly was a really "plot twist" in this dessert, @anggreklestari. I didn't see that coming, haha!

It looks very interesting.
