What is this Asian dessert called?!
Anyway it was green jello cubes with a coconut milk and I believe it had green color food dye. It had some other stuff in it too. I think the name started with a J but again I cant remember.
Can you help?
Answers: Well a girl brought it to my class last year. I think it was Japanese or Korean.

You can't copypasta this question!
I'm Vietnamese, and I eat this a lot.
We call it che (pronounced like yeah with a ch- sound). You're right, it's jello and coconut milk. Sometimes it has pieces of fruit, like jackfruit, or tapioca balls. There are lots of varieties, from exotic ones with seaweed and rice-balls filled with ginger, and plain ones, like a coconut-milk tapioca che with bananas. I guess the word che refers to any liquid dessert.
If you want to make it, go to the Asian market and pick up a bottle of "coconut gel" (blocks of coconut-flavored jello-like stuff) and a can of green gelatin, usually elephant brand. You may also want to buy a can of fruit in syrup. You chop up the gelatin and you put everything in a big bowl, including the fruit syrup. That's how everything looks green. Then you add half-and-half cream.
It doesn't taste exactly like the type you buy in a store, but its close. Good luck!
Rice pudding.
Yes, I know what you mean, but I don't know what it's called in English. They sell it at Vietnamese markets as well. Come over, I'll take you out for some.
I think it is a Yokan and also a Japanese dessert.
Food served with creamy coconut milk usually comes from south-east asian countries. If its Japanese, and the jello was glassy (see through) its called konnyaku. Yokan, is usually made of sweetened kidney bean paste, and is usually purplish instead of green.
The food coloring itself is not artificial, it is from pandan leaves (pandanus amary). It has a sweet smell to it. I'm thinking the food was made of rice flour, cooked with pandan leaves and sugar. The coconut milk was sort of salty to balance the sweet taste.
i think its called a coconut cake.....but its like jello with different layers of white and green!
