Peach Gum Dessert with Coconut Milk

Peach Gum Dessert with Coconut Milk (桃胶炖椰奶) is an awesome dessert to serve hot or cold. Peach gum dessert with coconut milk recipe contains ingredients like peach gum, red dates, white fungus, dried longan, rock sugar, and coconut milk.

This is another favorite dessert in my peach gum dessert series. This time, coconut milk is added to the recipe. I personally rank this even better than the peach gum recipe with low-fat milk.

Coconut milk has a unique fragrance that is full of floral and nutty that one can easily get addicted to. It is believed that coconut milk can help to stimulate weight loss and lower cholesterol levels.

Coconut milk is made by grinding the flesh of mature coconuts with water, and then by squeezing the pulp to produce thick, rich, viscous milk out of the fruit. Nowadays, you can easily purchase packets of coconut milk in grocery stores.
