THIS is a favorite summertime Asian dessert for me. It light and really cools you down. Grass jelly has medicinal qualities that is cooling for your body, perfect after a meal of grilled meats and veggies. Because it's a little bitter, I love to pair it with almond jello and some fruit. In this case, I have canned lychees. The syrup from the lychee can is PERFECT for making the sweetness level just right.
| Grass jelly | Comes in a can, plop it out and dice it |
| Almond jello | Can make it yourself by buying a powder that you add to water and then cool, like jello. Or you can also buy premade Almond tofu and just dice that up. You can see a bit of it at the bottom of my dish. I poured the jello into a few dessert bowls then after it set, scopped the grass jelly with lychee mix on top. |
| Canned lychees | Can sub with canned long-an, add jackfruit, strawberries, pear slices, whatever... |
So yum!!
