Bánh Da Lợn - aka Pig Skin Cake

I love snacks. Therefore, when it comes to sweet I like them in small portion. My Aunt gave me the tiny adorable molds from Viet Nam last year so I decided to use them.

Bánh Da Lợn is literally translated as Pig Skin Cake. This cake is consist of tapioca flour, coconut milk, sugar, pandan flavor, mung bean and water. Check them out. Aren't they cute?



First you grease the molds with oil, and then pour the first layer in them. Steam them for 5-6 minutes.


Then you add the second layer, mung bean. Continue to steam them for another 6 minutes.


Next, you add the third layer. And let them steam for another 6 minutes.


Then you take them out from the steamer and cool in the bath of cold water.


I mixed different color to make them look interesting.


This is the finished product. Not only they are adorable to look at, but also very yummy.
