While I was in the market, I saw some really nice winter melon. Remembering that it has a cooling properties, I got some home and turn it into a dessert for tonight's dinner.
Here is my Winter melon with wolfberries sweet soup 冬瓜枸杞甜水. I have adapted this from one that I tasted in a party many years ago and I like it. This time round, I added wolfberries aka goji to sweeten it further.
Just love it being served cold. A nice cool dessert to end the night.
What you need:
2kg wintermelon (deskin and deseed)1l of water
rock sugar to taste (I use raw sugar)
1 handful dried goji
4 -5 pandan leaves
Method:
Cube wintermelon to 1"X1".
Add water and pandan leaves and boil for 30 mins.
Add rock sugar and adjust according to taste. Continue to simmer till sugar melted.
Using a hand blender, blend the wintermelon.
Add in goji and bring it to a simmer for 10 mins until goji softens.Serve either hot or cold.If you have enjoyed this post by Rumbling Tummy, be sure to follow this Rumbling Tummy on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Google+ .
