LUO HAN GUO WITH LOTUS ROOTS DESSERT [罗汉果莲藕甜汤]

This is another lovely Luo Han Guo [Buddha’s Fruit] dessert that requires no SUGAR to be added. The second of its kind which I tried after my previous dessert using this fruit. The natural sweetness comes from the Luo Han Guo itself. This recipe was shared by HHB [Happy Home Baking] but accidentally I added some dried longan to it before I refered back to the recipe. Please refer  to Happy Home Baking for the original recipe.

Anyway, this dessert is really good. My neighbour and hubby agreed fully that it is a healthy dessert as no sugar is needed. This dessert is good served hot or cold. Awesome, love the natural sweetness. My friend described the sweetness as ‘Kam Kam’.

Ingredients

1 Luo Han Guo [cracked]

10 red dates

1.5 litres water

30 gm dried longan
