Instructions:

  1. Pour coconut milk into a jar and refrigerate it overnight. The cream will stay on top, and the water settles below. Then, skim the cream and leave it aside for the top part of the dessert.
  2. Use 5 pandan leaves, crush them and mix with ½ cup of water in a bowl. Then, squeeze the mixture until the water turns green. Later, extract about ¼ cup of the green water out.
  3. To make the bottom part of Khanom Tuoy, first, mix all the flour in a bowl.
  4. Then, add the thin coconut milk little by little while whisking the batter to mix them well.
  5. Once the mixture is stirred well, add palm sugar and pandan leaf extract to the bowl. Let it sit until the palm sugar softens. Then, mix it until it becomes smooth.
  6. Let the batter set aside for at least half an hour, stirring it every 10 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, to make the top part of the dessert, mix all the ingredients in a bowl and stir the mixture well using a whisk.
  8. Then, get a steamer, add water and put small cups in the rack of the steamer. Steam the cups empty for 10 – 15 minutes first before placing any batter in them.
  9. Then, stir the batter again before pouring the mixture into the cups. Start by pouring the bottom part mixture. Fill only 3/5 of each cup.
  10. Next, steam the bottom-filled cups at high heat for about 8 – 10 minutes. After 5 minutes while it is steaming, check if the batter is firm. If not, add another 4 to 5 minutes more in the steamer.
  11. Once the bottom layer is firm, pour the top part of the dessert full on every cup. Then, steam for another 8 – 10 minutes. The top layer does not need to cook completely, or the coconut cream will break, and the custard will have a cracked face.
  12. Then, place the custard cups out of the steamer to let them completely cool before they are taken out of the cups.
  13. Place the custard in a small plate each and enjoy the warm, delicious Khanom Tuoy!
