Remember your mom's tapioca? Well, this Tapioca Mango Pudding is far more scrumptious, plus it takes a fraction of the time to make (sorry mom!). A great dessert for everyday, and never fails to impress company. ENJOY!

A Thai version of the classic creme caramel dessert that is super-easy to make, melt-in-your mouth delicious, and healthier than traditional creme caramel! This recipe calls for coconut milk instead of cream (coconut milk contains good fats that actually lower your cholesterol), so if you're lactose-intolerant, this is a good dessert choice for you. It also makes an elegant dessert to serve guests or take to a party. Best of all, this recipe can be whipped up and in the oven in less than 10 minutes!

Thai Mango Sticky Sweet Rice Dessert (Khao Niaow Ma Muang)is an absolute must try! This recipe is foolproof and simple. It starts with sweet rice (also called sticky rice) which is surrounded by a "bath" of coconut milk, then topped with slices of fresh (or frozen) mango. If you like mangos and coconut, you're going to love this wonderful tropical dessert.

Try this fantastically easy recipe for Mango Sorbet! Quick and simple to make, and there's no stove involved. You'll need only a blender or food processor.

This new rice cake is pretty to serve and it also happens to be healthy - lower in sugar and fat than most cakes, and completely gluten free (lactose free too). Serve on its own, or with a sprinkling of fruit for a good-for-you treat. ENJOY!

Mangosteen is a beautiful Thai fruit that has just been made available in the US (if you can't find it yet, lychee fruit makes a good substitution). And because it contains so many antioxidants, mangosteen also offers numerous health benefits. Although it can be a tad expensive, you need only 5 mangosteens to make this clafouti recipe. Clafouti is a very old-style dessert from France - a cloud-like type of custard made with fresh fruit. Mangosteen is especially well-suited to the dessert, offering a mixture of both sweet and sour flavors. ENJOY!

This green tea cake is great for a potluck, dinner party, afternoon tea, or simply as an everyday treat.

I'm particularly proud of this cake, since it has literally taken me years to get it right! It's made of sticky rice and tapioca flours, and is both gluten and lactose free (it's also vegan). A truly asian dessert, this type of sticky rice cake can be found in many southeast-asian countries, with slight variations according to the region and the chef. It has a satisfyingly sticky texture and tastes of coconut. Great with tea or coffee, this cake makes a nice dessert, breakfast, or snack with afternoon tea. Or make it for a potluck party where it will be eaten up in no time! ENJOY!

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!
