Honeydukes' Sour Green Worms
Honeydukes' latest candy in collaboration with the Slytherin house. Flavored with lime juice, perfectly chewy, and not too sweet!
Equipment
Bamboo basket steamer
Ingredients
- 1 tsp tapioca pearls (optional, it adds more texture)
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1 tbsp rice flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 5 tbsp coconut milk
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 drop pandan extract (or use natural green coloring)
- a pinch of turmeric
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the tapioca pearls and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a small bowl. Add one tablespoon of water to the bowl to prevent the tapioca pearls from sticking together.
- Add the tapioca flour, rice flour, and sugar to a mixing bowl. Pour in the coconut milk and lime juice and whisk until well combined.
- Transfer 1/3 of the batter to a small bowl and add a pinch of turmeric, whisk to combine. Add 1 drop of pandan extract to the 2/3 of the batter and whisk as well.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and place a bamboo steamer basket on top.
- Slightly grease a 6-inch dish that can fit inside your bamboo steamer. I went with a round dish but a square one will work as well.
- Give another good stir to your batters to make sure the tapioca flour hasn't set in the bottom. Pour a couple tablespoons of the green batter into the prepared dish, followed by a tablespoon of the yellow batter. Continue until no more batter remains and your have about 1/3-inch thickness. If using a small dish, steam in two batches. You don't want the batter to be higher than 1/3-inch, otherwise it will take longer to steam and you might not end up with an even texture.
- Drain your tapioca pearls again and add them to the dish, distributing them evenly.
- Transfer your dish to the bamboo steamer and steam for about 7 minutes, or until the batter is no longer liquid. It should still be tender and will firm up slightly as it cools.
- Let it cool for at least 30 minutes. Flip your dish over a lightly oiled surface and cut into thick and long strips. The worms will be sticky so I recommend working with lightly oiled hands, it will prevent the worms from sticking to each other.
- Enjoy as a snack! These sour worms are best eaten the same day but will keep for another day at room temperature in an airtight container.
