Mung Beans Popsicle

Mung Beans Raw Material

Mung bean or green soy or green bean is very common in Indonesia.
People often made sweet porridge for breakfast from this kind of bean. We will easily find street vendors of green beans sweet porridge in Java Island.
At east part of Indonesia, Sulawesi Island, people love to make soup from it which is the taste is not sweet.
And also people use mung beans as filling for dessert or sweet dumpling, such as Kue Onde-onde (fried sweet rice with sesame seed) and Pia (one kind of layer pastry), bakpia (it's like pia, but smaller and have softer skin) and may other.

But last Friday, I made Indonesian Style of Popsicle using it. I made a big batch. I need to bring them as the dessert for barbecue potluck on Monday.

Ingredients : Water (about 4.5 quarts), Coconut Milk (800mL), Palm Sugar (250 grams), Brown Sugar (about 200 grams) Mung Beans (650 grams), Salt (1/2 tsp)
Direction : Boil the water, add mung beans into the water, cook until tender. Add palm sugar, mix until blend, the last, add coconut milk stir it, occasionally until boiled.
Let it cool. Take half of the mixture, put them into a blender until the beans smooth. Put back into the first mixture. Fill the plastic bag with the mixture, the same as I did HERE.
