Jump to Recipe

Here is a quick and easy summer dessert that is lip-smacking delicious – Elaneer Payasam. This south Indian dessert is made from tender coconut flesh and water, very different from most of the other payasam or kheer recipes. It is light and refreshing, having made from very few ingredients that are available in anyone’s fridge. Tender Coconut as nature’s bounty has a lot of health benefits, it is a natural coolant apart from re-hydrating one’s body with rich nutrients. This Elaneer Payasam or Tender Coconut Kheer is a summer indulgence to enjoy once in a while 🙂 Checkout Nungu Payasam – Ice Apple Kheer recipe, yet another delicious summer dessert!

This Elaneer Payasam recipe was inspired by my dear friend Srividhya – vidhyashomecooking. When I saw her post the Elaneer Payasam recipe, I knew I just had to try this season no matter what. I modified the recipe based on what I had in my kitchen. I also had not so tender coconut to be honest, so I used a fair bit of tender coconut flesh as well and to give some body to the payasam, I added fresh milk. If you want to make this vegan, just skip regular milk and add only coconut milk. This Ilaneer Payasam is mildly sweet and best served chilled.
