Ingredients
Red Bean Layer
- 1 cup adzuki beans
- water
- 2 tablespoon sugar
Yellow Mung Bean Layer
- ⅔ cup dried split mung bean, washed and rinsed until water runs clear
- 2 cups water
- 3 tablespoons sugar
Green Pandan Jelly Layer
- 1 tablespoon agar agar powder
- 2 cups water
- ¼ teaspoon pandan extract
- 3 tablespoons sugar
Coconut Sauce
- 1 (13.5 oz) can coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons tapioca starch
Topping
- shaved ice
Instructions
Adzuki Beans
- Soak the beans overnight. The next day, drain and simmer in boiling water for 18–20 minutes, or until tender. Drain again, stir in sugar, and let cool.
Pandan Jelly
- Boil water, then whisk in agar agar powder, pandan extract, and sugar until fully dissolved. Pour into a glass dish and let it set at room temp. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or freeze for 2). Slice into strips or cubes.
Mung Beans
- Add mung beans and water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10–12 minutes until soft. Mash or blend into a smooth paste and mix in the sugar.
Coconut Sauce
- Heat coconut cream until it just starts to bubble. Whisk in sugar and tapioca starch. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then let it cool and chill in the fridge until ready to use.
Assemble the Che Ba Mau
- Layer red beans, mung bean paste, and pandan jelly in a glass. Drizzle with chilled coconut sauce and top with crushed ice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Give the adzuki beans an overnight soak so they cook up faster and more evenly the next day.
- Keep an eye on the beans—tender is perfect, but mushy? Not so much.
- Let all the layers cool completely before assembling. You want this dessert cold, creamy, and extra refreshing!
