Thai Red Ruby Dessert aka Water Chestnut in Coconut Milk Dessert 泰式红宝石甜品

Thapthim krop is a popular dessert originated from Thailand. It is more commonly known as Red Ruby in Singapore and Malaysia. Red Ruby is one of my favorite dessert! It had been sitting in my 'to do list' for very long because it's quite time consuming and the step that I hate most is.... to peel the water chestnut. However I still make this because I couldn't find the taste that I like (with rose syrup) anywhere in Singapore. I remembered I had it some times back when I was in Kuala Lumpur. Just can't recall which Thai restaurant was that. So my only option to stop my craving is....make it myself. :) hmm....from scratch! 



Ingredients: Make 2 servings

Some Fresh Jackfruit Slices


To make coconut milk syrup:

45ml Water

50g Sugar 
(can be reduced for a less sweet version, I like it sweet because my red ruby dessert loaded with ICE, I don't like the diluted tasteless coconut milk)

145ml Fresh Coconut Milk

About 1/3 tsp Salt

1 Pandan Leaf
