Sweet Potato and Banana Desserts With Black Grass Jelly

Looking for a unique dessert variation and this is the answer.

Today I will make a sweet snack to break the fast. I looked at the refrigerator and saw the black grass jelly stock.

Well, have you ever heard of black grass jelly? Usually this ingredient is used for a mixture of drinks that are popular in Asia such as Indonesia, China and so on.

Black grass jelly has a chewy texture. Made from a type of grass which is then thickened and becomes a jelly texture.

So we will be familiar with finding black grass jelly in desserts with other mixtures such as banana and sweet potato.

For today, I also have a supply of honey sweet potato. The honey sweet potato type is sweeter and has a softer texture. Usually it is used for sweet dishes like the one I made.

I also have ripe bananas and are suitable for mixing this dessert menu. Some time ago, I also shared this menu on this blog, but the difference is that I bought it at a local shop. While this time I will prepare this menu in my own kitchen.

So, let's start the adventure of serving popular desserts in cafes around me. Instead of buying this menu, today I made a homemade menu. 😊❤️
