Khanom Chan | Thai Layered Coconut Sweet Dessert | Thai dessert | Khanom Chan | Steamed Layer Cake

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories while still providing creaminess.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds sweetness with a unique flavor.

tapioca flour

🥗Healthier: arrowroot powder

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Arrowroot powder is a healthier alternative for thickening.

Prepare a mold by lightly greasing it with oil.

Combine coconut milk, sugar, and color water in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves.

Add tapioca starch, rice flour, and arrowroot flour to the mixture and stir until fully combined.

Layer the coconut mixture into the mold and steam until set, about 30 minutes.

Once the first layer is set, pour the next layer over it.

Repeat layering until all mixtures are used, allowing each layer to set before adding the next.

Chill the completed jello for at least 2 hours before serving.

To serve, carefully unmold the dessert and cut into squares.
