Ingredients
- 1 cup mung beans, soaked overnight
- 6 cups water
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: coconut milk for serving
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the soaked mung beans. In a large pot, combine the mung beans, water, sugar, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat to a simmer.
- Cook the mung beans for about 40 45 minutes, or until they are soft and have a creamy consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once cooked, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, blend the mixture using an immersion blender or regular blender until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the blended mung bean pudding into individual serving dishes and allow them to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best texture.
- Serve chilled, garnished with a drizzle of coconut milk if desired.
