Thai Dessert Recipe: Luuk Chuup! (Thai Mung Bean Marzipan)

I find out later that this recipe was influenced by marzipan recipe since the Kingdom of Ayutthaya (1350-1767), as same as Foy Thong and many other dessert that has the name Thong in it.

It looks very easy but once you start to make mung bean into shapes for 5 pieces, you would need to drag a chair to sit and do the rest and know that there is a long way to go.

So! give yourself some courage by starting with something very easy, like chilies, cherry, mango, carrot, strawberry.

I first wanted to make Hello Kitty, hahahaha... but it didn't work out.

Here's the printable recipe for Thai Mung Bean Marzipan.

You may want to try taro as substitution. :) but the other bean... maybe red bean?

[lilxaznxshortie]

Hi! :) After you made this, if you refrigerate them the jelly coating will not smooth, hard and get bubbles on the outside. You can try saving them in the food box before putting it in the fridge but I think it is best to eat them once you finished cooking.

is the dessert hard or soft and do we have to refergeriate them Thanks...im planning to make these

Hi! :) I soaked the mung bean for 2 hour and steam on the steamer. :) if the holes on your steamer is too big, put a thin white clothe in it first before to add the mung bean to be steamed.
