How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh watermelon
- The red, sweet watermelons are those that are ripe, with small, dried stems.
- You should choose watermelons that have yellow or green spots on the outside, as this indicates that the watermelon has been in contact with the soil during its growth, creating those spots.
- It is advisable to choose watermelons with a tight, round, shiny skin and visible black stripes. This is a sign of delicious, sweet watermelons.
How to choose fresh and delicious longan
- Delicious longan fruits are those that have a characteristic aroma when ripe, with a dark yellow skin, feel firm when gently squeezed, and show no signs of being overripe, dried out, or infested with insects.
- Avoid choosing longan fruits with overly smooth and shiny skins or those that have dropped from the branch. This is often because Chinese longan may be treated with chemicals, resulting in a strange smell at the stem end, and the flesh may not be fragrant even if it is quite thick.
- When buying longan, it is best to purchase them in bunches, rather than individual fruits, as the latter may be spoiled.
Suggestions for buying delicious lychee in syrup
- Lychee in syrup can be easily purchased at grocery stores, supermarkets, and e-commerce websites.
- When buying lychee in syrup, remember to check the production date and expiration date, as well as inspect the condition of the can to avoid buying cans that are damaged or contaminated.
- For safety, you can make lychee in syrup at home using a simple recipe from TasteVN!
Tools needed
How to make Cheese Khúc Bạch Dessert
-
Soak agar powder and activate gelatin
Mix 250g of granulated sugar with 8g of jelly powder and then add 1.1 liters of unsweetened fresh milk. Stir continuously to dissolve the sugar and jelly powder, then let the mixture soak for 10 minutes.
Add 80ml of water to mix well with 35g of gelatin, and soak for 15 minutes to let the gelatin bloom.
-
Cooking cheese jelly
After soaking for 10 minutes, we put the jelly powder on the stove and stir continuously with a spoon over low heat until the milk warms up and the jelly powder completely dissolves.
Next, add 250g of cream cheese to dissolve together with the mixture over low heat. When the milk and cheese mixture starts to boil, we add the soaked gelatin and stir well again.
When the mixture boils again, turn off the heat, and at this point, add 200ml of whipping cream while using a spoon to stir well to dissolve. If the mixture feels a bit thick, you can add another 200ml of boiling water.
Tip:- To help the cream cheese dissolve faster, you should leave the cream at room temperature before cooking.
- You can add a little vanilla extract to the mixture to make it more fragrant.
-
Color Mixing
Use a sieve to filter and evenly pour the cheese mixture into 3 different molds to carry out the color mixing process.
Add 15ml of water to dissolve with 5gr matcha powder. Then, add the dissolved green tea powder to the mixture and stir well until the mixture has a uniform color. Follow the same steps for cocoa powder.
Once the colors are mixed, place the mixtures in the refrigerator for about 3 – 4 hours.
Note:- When mixing colors for the cheese mixture, be careful to stir thoroughly and well at the bottom to avoid undissolved powder.
- To make it easier to remove the cheese mixture without breaking when it sets, you should use soft, flexible molds instead of hard molds.
-
Cook the sugar water
Place a pot on the stove, add 1.5 liters of water along with 50 grams of pandan leaves and 300 grams of rock sugar to cook the sugar water. Keep it on high heat and cook for about 5 minutes.
Then add the canned lychee juice, remove the pandan leaves, and turn off the stove to let it cool completely.
-
Roast the almonds
Place a skillet on the stove, turn on the heat and wait for the skillet to get hot, then add 100 grams of almonds and roast thoroughly for about 3 minutes. When the almonds are evenly golden, turn off the heat.
-
Completion
Remove the bạch from the mold and use a knife to cut the bạch into small pieces, bite-sized (about 2 finger joints) and place them on a plate.
Peel the watermelon and lychee and put them into a separate bowl along with the prepared almonds. Soak the canned lychee in the cooked pandan syrup.
Use a spoon to scoop each type of bạch into a bowl, then add watermelon and fresh lychee according to your preference.
Use a ladle to scoop in the soaked lychee, pour in the pandan syrup, and sprinkle a little almond on top, and it is ready to serve.

Final Product
The cheese bạch dessert has a creamy taste from the cheese, the nutty flavor of almonds, the sweet and refreshing taste of rock sugar and lychee syrup, combined with the coolness of watermelon, lychee, and longan. The bạch pieces are soft and chewy, not hard or mushy at all.
