Vietnamese dessert or che is a traditional Vietnamese sweet soup or pudding. You can easily find Vietnamese dessert at any Vietnamese bakery or even Vietnamese sandwich place. The perfect dessert for any occasion is what describes this Vietnamese sweet corn pudding or che bap. Sweet corn combined with tapioca pearls, cooked in a slightly sweet, fragrant coconut milk.

With fresh corns are at its season peak, seriously like 12 for a buck, you can easily whip this dessert in seconds, seriously easy to make.

Variations of Vietnamese corn pudding (che bap)

Some added mung bean and glutinous rice to the pudding. In this version, I kept it simple and skip the mung bean and glutinous rice.

The addition of tapioca pearls:

Tapioca pearls are made from cassava root. These translucent, chewy, small pearls are used to add into pudding. They are used as thickening agent mostly in Vietnamese desserts.

Pandan leaves:

Pandan leaves adds nice aroma and fragrant to the dessert. You can find them at Asian supermarkets in the frozen aisle. If you can’t locate it, it is ok to skip it.

Coconut milk: use full fat coconut milk for a creamier, richer pudding.

This Vietnamese sweet corn pudding can be served cold or hot, it’s up to you.  I personally like to serve it warm with a bit of sesame seeds on top.
