THAI COCONUT JELLY (WOON MA PRAOW OON)

Finally, Summer time is around the corner and nothing is more perfect than a layer of cold coconut milk jelly to cool you down.

This Thai dessert is mainly made of slices of young coconut (the green coconut that has soft flesh) and coconut milk.

The coconut base for this dessert is supposed to be a little salty, which when combined with the sweeten topping is a match made in heaven.
