Many people enjoy eating coconut osmanthus cake desserts, but making them might not be as easy as it seems. However, the truth is, it's actually quite simple to make once you've mastered the technique! Let's learn together!

1、When heating coconut milk, what should you pay attention to?

Coconut milk should not be overheated; just warm it slightly. If the temperature gets too high, the coconut milk will separate into oil and water.

2、What kind of water is used in the osmanthus layer?

The water used in the osmanthus layer should be boiled and then cooled to room temperature, or you can use purified water as a substitute.

3、How should you refrigerate or freeze during the process of making coconut osmanthus cake desserts?

①The time required for refrigeration or freezing varies depending on the method used. For refrigeration, each layer needs about 20-30 minutes, while freezing requires around 10-15 minutes per layer. Actual time depends on the thickness of each layer.

②After all the ingredients are added, it is recommended to refrigerate the mixture in the refrigerator for half an hour before removing it from the mold.

4、How can you make the texture of the osmanthus cake softer?

For those who prefer a softer texture, you can reduce the proportion of gilgitine and increase the refrigeration time accordingly.

With these tips in hand, I believe everyone can quickly make an authentic coconut osmanthus cake dessert. You can also adjust the amount of ingredients and change additional ingredients according to your own taste preferences. Now, let's get started together!

INGREDIENTS

MAIN INGREDIENTS

  • 210 grams of milk

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1

Cut each of the 40 grams of gilgitine sheets in half, then divide them evenly into two portions. Place each piece in a bowl of ice water, crisscrossing them to prevent sticking together after soaking. Let them soak for 3-5 minutes until they become soft.

Soak 40g gilgitine sheets in ice water for 3-5 mins to soften. Divide into two portions to prevent sticking.

Add 20g of gilgitine sheets that have been softened in water, and stir until the gilgitine is melted. Set aside to cool to room temperature, and it's ready for use.

Layer coconut and osmanthus mixtures alternately in a dessert, refrigerating each layer for 30 mins.

STEP 6

pour in 160g of coconut mixture as the sixth layer, refrigerate for 1 hour, then invert the mold onto a cutting board. Wrap a warm towel around the bottom and sides of the mold, and let it sit for about 2 minutes to allow the osmanthus cake to slide out naturally.

Layer coconut mixture in mold, chill, invert onto board, use warm towel to release osmanthus cake.

STEP 7
