Desserts, as we know them here in the West, are not popular in Vietnam.  While things are beginning to change in Vietnam, traditionally, chocolates, sugary cakes, and ice cream desserts have not been available – and still are not widely popular.

Instead, the Vietnamese dessert of choice is Chè.   Chè, otherwise known in Vietnam as “sweet soup”, is served both hot and cold, and consists of a wide variety of beans, vegetable, gelatins, and seeds,  presented in a sweet liquid “soup.”

Tonight, I’ll be preparing a dessert treat of sweet corn kernels, blended with sticky rice with a coconut cream topping (no eggs; no dairy). Sweet, delicious, and almost healthy. :-Đ
