Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 Small coconut
- 1 tsp Goji berries (Soak in hot water.)
- 1 jar Ready-to-drink bird's nest (Do not confuse this with the dried bird's nest which would require )
- Sugar
Instructions
- 1
Drain the goji berries.
- 2
Open the coconut and keep the coconut "hat" on the side. Remove some of the coconut water from the coconut (to make space for the goji berries and ready-to-drink bird's nest). I suggest removing at least 1C of the water first to avoid any spillage. Do not throw the coconut water away as it can be drunk or used to make soups!
- 3
Open the bird's nest jar and add all the contents into the coconut followed by the goji berries. If there is empty space in the coconut, add some of the removed coconut water back to the coconut.

Recover the coconut with its "hat" then steam. The ingredients are all ready-to-eat so steaming is merely to heat up the coconut water as well as to soften the coconut flesh. The steaming time thus depends on the size of your coconut, how hot you want your dessert to be and how soft you like your coconut flesh. I prefer mine my desserts either cold or hot (not in between!) and I like the texture of soft coconut flesh, so I usually steam mine for 20 minutes if the coconut is small and 30 minutes for a bigger coconut.
