Vietnamese Desserts

Vietnamese desserts often use coconut milk, beans, tropical fruit, tapioca, and sticky rice rather than relying only on baked sweets. Chè is a broad family of sweet soups and puddings, with versions containing mung beans, lotus seeds, jelly, or fruit. Bánh chuối turns banana into a soft cake or pudding, while bánh bò is a spongy rice-flour cake known for its honeycomb-like texture.
