Chinese Almond Dessert 蛋白杏仁糊 {滑不留口}

This is a silky smooth Chinese Almond Dessert, healthy and nutritious which requires only a few simple ingredients. It can be done quickly after the almonds being soaked overnight. Although you can see from the picture that the spoon can rest nicely on the surface, the texture is not very thick or firm but creamy. It also has a mild aroma of sweet almond and I like it to be served cold because of the hot and humid weather. The taste is absolutely wonderful and I hope you'll give this recipe a try.
