No-Bake Coconut Bánh Bò Sandwich (Bánh Bò Kẹp Dừa) Recipe

Enjoy this quick and easy Bánh Bò recipe that doesn't require an oven! Perfect for a simple dessert or snack.

• 1 chicken egg
• 200g all-purpose flour
• 180ml cold water or pandan leaf juice (for green color and aroma)
• 40ml coconut milk
• 50g granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2/3 teaspoon instant dry yeast
• Young shredded coconut (for filling)
• Condensed milk (for filling)
• Granulated sugar (for filling)

Step-by-Step Instructions for No-Bake Coconut Bánh Bò Sandwich:

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, combine 2/3 teaspoon instant dry yeast, 25ml warm water, and a pinch of granulated sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 10 minutes until the yeast is foamy and activated.

Step 2: Prepare and Ferment the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk 1 chicken egg and 50g granulated sugar until dissolved. Add 180ml cold water (or pandan leaf juice for flavor/color) and 40ml coconut milk, stirring to combine. Gradually add 200g all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Finally, pour in the activated yeast mixture and stir well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rise for 50 minutes until it doubles in size. Before cooking, give the risen batter a good stir.

Step 3: Cook the Bánh Bò on the Pan

Place a non-stick pan on the stove (do not preheat the pan). Pour a thick layer of batter onto the pan, about 1/3 of a finger joint in thickness. Cover with a lid and set the heat to the lowest possible setting. Cook until the surface of the cake appears dry, indicating it's cooked through. Gently remove the cooked Bánh Bò and repeat the process for the remaining batter.

Step 4: Assemble the Coconut Bánh Bò Sandwich

Spread a thin layer of condensed milk on one Bánh Bò piece. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and generous amounts of young shredded coconut. Place another Bánh Bò piece on top to form a sandwich. Slice into desired portions.
