Vietnamese Candied Coconut Ribbons for Lunar New Year (Mứt Dừa)

Mứt Dừa is a colorful collection of dried candied coconut ribbons. They are commonly sold in large trays that come with other traditional dried sugary treats, collectively known as Mứt Tết. Traditional candied coconut ribbons are way too sugary for me. Here is my version of candied coconut that is much less sweet and packed full of coconut flavor.

Sweetened Coconut Milk Sauce for Asian Desserts (Nuoc Cot Dua An Che)

You will often find Vietnamese desserts topped with a rich and sweet coconut sauce called Nuoc Cot Dua. I like to call this sauce the Asian whipped cream. It is made by simmering coconut milk and sugar, and thickened with a bit of tapioca starch. Pandan leaves (the vanilla extract of Southeast Asia) is then added to steep and flavor the sauce.
