Chè Bắp - Vietnamese Corn Pudding

Chè Bắp is basically Vietnamese corn pudding with tapioca pearls and coconut milk. Corn is in season so I have to make this Vietnamese dessert. I got the recipe from Mrs. Apple from another forum. She gave me a great tip. She suggested that I used half bag of fresh pandan and extracted the juice out from the leaves . Then added to the pot. And I did.

Wow! It tasted so good! The aroma of fresh pandan juice added extra flavor to this dessert. This can be served with coconut milk.
