Thai Steamed Banana Cake (Kanom Kluay)

 

Share This Recipe

This is a sweet Thai dessert that is kind of a cross between a cake, a custard, and a jelly. It is sweet, slightly creamy, and topped with fresh grated coconut meat. It is one of the easier Thai desserts to make, and doesn’t need very many ingredients.

Usually these desserts will be steamed wrapped in banana leaves, however if you are outside Asia, banana leaves will probably be hard to find, so you could just use any mould that is suitable for steaming. It is also important to use ripe bananas as this will make the dessert sweeter and smoother.
