Recipes with coconut water
These coconut buns are absolutely amazing! The dough contains no water at all, relying entirely on milk, coconut milk, and heavy cream, resulting in a liquid content of up to 80%. This doubles the milky and coconut aroma, making them moister, richer, and softer than regular bread. The crust is baked to a golden-brown, glossy sheen, making them incredibly appetizing. The coconut filling is particularly unique, incorporating low-gluten flour, eggs, and milk, remaining moist even after baking—not dry or cloying at all. Breaking it open reveals a generous filling of coconut flakes, dense and moist, with an incredibly rich coconut and milky aroma, sweet but not cloying. I rarely make coconut buns, but this one is truly worth trying! Whether you make small dinner rolls or braided buns, they look and taste fantastic. The aroma fills the house when they're fresh out of the oven, and their soft, comforting texture is incredibly soothing. One bite and you're instantly filled with happiness!

The coconut milk-flavored water chestnut cake is so delicious that you can smell the fragrance even through the screen! Key points for making coconut milk water chestnut cake (the key to making it bouncy!) 1. Preview: Be sure to read through steps 1-3 before you start to avoid mistakes~ 2. Demolding tips: ◦ Wait until the water chestnut cake is completely cooled before demolding and cutting (it will be sticky when it is hot, and it will be bouncy after it cools down!); ◦ When demolding, press the cake gently around the sides to separate it from the mold, then turn it upside down to take it out, and it will be neater when cut~
After encountering a mouthful of coconut milk jelly with a strong coconut aroma in Sabah, I turned into a kitchen "magician" and successfully reproduced this divine delicacy! I share two treasure recipes: a light version and the original rich version (mellow milky aroma). The rich version adds whipped cream and coconut milk, and the milky aroma is directly full, so dense that it feels like eating clouds. It feels sweet to the heart when you scoop a spoonful~ However, the rich version has a slightly higher calorie content. It is super happy to satisfy your cravings occasionally. If you want to eat it often, the light version is the happy choice without "belly burden"~ Follow my steps, open the coconut steadily, and the milk jelly is smooth, and you can easily get the same sweetness!
Coconut Chicken Rice is an easy, no-fuss rice-cooker meal where marinated chopped chicken legs cook right on top of rice, with coconut water standing in for the usual cooking liquid. The coconut water adds a gentle sweetness, while soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, and cooking wine bring a deep savoury aroma—finished with fresh green onions mixed through for a clean, comforting bite. Try this alternative chicken rice with coconut water that is fast and requires no skills! The sweetness from coconut water and the oil from chicken give this strong flavour to the rice.
Soft and fragrant, this cake combines the sweetness of coconut milk with the gentle aroma of pandan leaves—like a welcome breeze of morning dew. The sticky rice base provides a temptingly chewy texture, while the smooth top layer adds softness and balance to the flavors. Its image presents a captivating visual: a serene pastel green, as if stitched together with the subtlety of tradition and a modern touch. Each slice promises the sensation of the creamy fragrance of coconut milk, combined with a light sweetness and soft chewiness, creating a harmony of flavors that invites a smile. Ideal as a special afternoon treat or a relaxing dessert, this sticky rice and pandan cake exudes the true beauty of simplicity—soothing, elegant, and rich with memories.
The delicate white cubes coated in fine coconut flakes look refreshing and exquisite. I prefer the version made with white agar powder; gelatin makes it sticky, while white agar powder has a chewy, bouncy texture that's delightfully bouncy. This one doesn't contain cream; the sweetness comes purely from milk and coconut milk, with a rich coconut flavor that's not cloying, and the sweetness is just right—completely guilt-free. A cup of jasmine tea brewed at a 1:50 tea-to-water ratio is perfect. Steep in 80-85°C water for 3-5 minutes. The fresh jasmine aroma and the sweetness of the coconut milk blend perfectly. A bite of the cube followed by a sip of tea instantly balances the sweetness, leaving you feeling incredibly refreshed. Enjoy a cup of this tea with the coconut milk cubes as an afternoon snack, or have one after a meal to cleanse your palate. Whether enjoyed alone or shared with family, it brings a sense of pure bliss.
