Besides its cute presentation it is very delicious as well! It is made with purple yam for this vibrant purple colour and swirled in with some coconut cream. Inside we also add some sweet black rice and tapioca for some chew and texture!

The colour and texture is amazing to look at it and it has a very comforting sweet taste.

This imaginative dessert is not just pleasant on the eye, but bursting with flavour and texture!

This dessert will be an instant hit at your halloween party!

The Screaming Flavour

Coconut cream gives it that tropical flavour and makes the purple yam a creamier texture. We love adding coconut cream with purple yam because the combination just works! 

If you've had purple yam you will understand how coconut works very well with it. But if you haven't, you have to try. Purple yam has a natural sweet and floral taste to it. Texture is like a sweet potato. 

Do you like horchata water? If you like rice flavour food, you will definitely like this dessert! It has a hint of sweet rice in this dessert, and the chewy wild rice texture as well. 

The Screamers Halloween Dessert Recipe

The Purple Yam and Sweet Black Rice recipe is in another blog. The recipe is very easy to make with only a few key ingredients. I

You just have to steam the purple yam separate, make the sweet black rice and tapioca separately. Once everything is done, we put everything together and make a glorious pot of sweet and healthy dessert!

If you're using the recipe, do not add the coconut cream. We will be adding the coconut cream when the purple yam puree is in the mini glass cups. 

Decorating the Screamer Halloween Cups

Once you make the pot of dessert, it's time for the fun part to decorate the cups!

1. I am using some clear glass 10oz cups. They are great size dessert cups. I fill the dessert up and leave about half inch room at the top. 

2. Slowly we are going to add the coconut cream into the purple yam puree. The best practice is to slowly add the cream and not to pour it in high and fast. The closer you can pour the cream into the cups, the better the swirls you can make.

3. Gently clean the outside of the banana with some gentle soap and rinse. Slice the banana with an angle into half inch. Then I use chocolate chips for eyes and for mouth you can use a lot of different materials. I choose to use sunflower seed. 

There you have it and it is done! If you don't have sunflower seeds, you can use the chocolate chip for the mouth as well. The banana will float there for some time, but don't leave it in too long. The banana will turn brown with time.
