Mung Bean Coconut Pudding

Mung bean sweet soup with coconut cream (chè đậu xanh cốt dừa) is a traditional Vietnamese sweet dessert made from mung beans (usually hulled split mung beans) cooked until soft and tender with sugar, then topped with rich, creamy coconut milk. This sweet dessert soup has a gentle sweetness and the nutty richness of mung beans blended with the creamy, fragrant flavor of coconut, and it is not spicy at all. Chè is usually eaten with a spoon and can be enjoyed hot or with ice added to cool it down, making it perfect as a snack or a refreshing treat to beat the heat.
