Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 10 gm china grass strands
  • 1 large dragon fruit weighed around 450 gm
  • 1 400 ml can coconut milk
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  • Peel the dragon fruit. Mash the pulp in a bowl till done. You may leave some small bites if required - I did.
  • Soak the china grass strands in the water for 15-20 minutes.
  • On low flame, cook it till it melts or is soft.
  • Add the coconut milk and brown sugar and stir. Cook till you don't see any more strands, but ensure not to boil the milk mixture.
  • fAdd the dragon fruit pulp and cook for another minute.
  • Pour into individual bowls or a large bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. Set in the fridge for a couple of hours. Enjoy!

Notes

China grass has a tendency not to melt completely or leave strands as such. You can seive the mixture if you don't like the strands, but then the seeds and the pieces of the fruit may be left behind. I prefer not to strain!
Alternatively, use gelatin to set. One sachet (10 gm) should do. Bloom it in the water for five minutes and proceed with the remaining steps.
