Best Thai Dessert Recipes!

This easy dessert only takes 5 minutes to make! But don't be deceived by its simplicity - the taste is so wonderfully sweet and exotic that I find it addictive! It's also a low fat dessert that happens to be incredibly healthy. A great way to use up leftover bananas, this banana lychee pudding is really more of what they would call a "dessert soup" in Asia. This simple banana lychee dessert recipe can be served warm or cold, depending on the weather and your mood (cold is great on a hot summer night, while serving it warm makes this a superb comfort food). Enjoy!

These Sticky Rice Cakes (Kanom Thuay) are small glutinous rice balls with a red bean filling. They are easily put together with rice flour (available at Asian/Chinese or health food stores) and then steamed for 10 minutes. Extremely delicious, plus the red bean and gluten free rice flour mean this Thai dessert is also very healthy - low-sugar, low-fat, and low-sodium. So indulge and create a batch of these beautiful miniature rice cakes with this clear, easy-to-follow recipe (with pictures).

Make this dessert and you'll have friends for life! My most popular Thai dessert - and for good reason. This fried banana recipe is yummy and easy to make - just follow the steps! Enjoy fried bananas hot from the pan, or add chocolate sauce and ice cream (or whipped cream) for a special Thai dessert that is to-die-for delicious!

Homemade ice cream without an ice cream maker? That's right! This recipe for homemade coconut ice cream is fantastically delicious, simple to make, and doesn't involve a lot of stirring once you've put it in the freezer. Creamy, smooth, and deliciously coconutty, you'll fall in love with this homemade ice cream with just one lick. Also healthier than most store-bought ice cream. Perfect for a summertime treat, or for a welcome dessert anytime of year. ENJOY!

This healthy and exotic Thai fruit salad will be the hit of your party - especially when served in a pineapple "boat". Create your own assortment of tropical and local fruit - whatever is fresh and in season. Serve with ice cream, whipped cream, or on its own for a fresh fruit feast. Makes a terrific addition to a potluck, BBQ, or dinner party. Carving instructions for the pineapple are included with the recipe.

This gourmet dessert is very tropical tasting, yet also light and healthy, which makes it an excellent dessert to serve after a heavy barbecue. Grilled Pineapple is naturally sweet and tasty, but add my Thai flavorings and dipping sauce, and you have an incredible taste sensation! Unlike most recipes for grilled pineapple, this one is made into what I call "pineapple pops", so it's easy to eat (like eating a Popsicle!). Makes a beautiful dessert to serve, and it's truly fanastic to eat!

While bubble tea (also known as "boba") has been a common drink in Southeast-Asia for several decades, it's just starting to catch on here in North America. But most bubble tea that you can buy at restaruants or snack bars is not what I would call authentic - plus it's full of extra calories and fat (usually in the form of whipped cream or even ice cream). If you want to try a healthier, more authentic version, check out this Thai Mango-Coconut Bubble Tea Recipe. This bubble tea calls for fresh or frozen mango plus coconut milk, which make it especially tropical-tasting, fresh, and lightly creamy. It's also gluten-free. Just in time for summer, this bubble tea is excellent to serve on hot summer days or warm summer nights. ENJOY!
