Almond Milk Curd (Hung Yun Dow Foo) Light Refreshing Chinese Dessert

September 3, 2013 Filed Under: Desserts

Almond Milk Curd, also known as Hung Yun Dow Foo, is a delightfully light and refreshing almond flavored milk gelatin served with fruit or coconut at dim sum restaurants. It is ridiculously easy to make at home and is a perfect dessert for hot summer nights.

We would usually have it for dessert growing up after Asparagus Beef or Almond Chicken Chow Mein or any other Asian dinner. Sometimes Ma’am would make them in these cute little individual lotus bowls she had (ramekins would work as well). I also remember seeing mandarin oranges on sale when I was pregnant and the hormones ordered me to make it!! If you have been pregnant, you understand.

The original recipe called for fruit cocktail, and many dim sum restaurants serve it with sweetened shredded coconut, but we have never had it with anything other than mandarin oranges.

    Oh my goodness, this sounds amazing! I especially like that it has no soy, which can be a hard thing to find. Thank you for sharing!
