Everyone loves a good dessert, but with so many sugar-filled ones in the market, our health could be at risk without us realising it. That’s why we believe in incorporating healthier and more natural alternatives into your treats — edible bird’s nests.


Some may think that edible bird’s nests are plain and boring, but there are different dimensions to their flavour when paired with the right ingredients. Plus, they’re way healthier than ice-creams, cakes, or other desserts that leave us craving for more sugar after one helping.


So, if you're ready to enter a new realm of healthy (yet tasty) desserts, we’d love to share with you these easy-to-make bird's nest dessert recipes that won’t leave you feeling guilty after.

Fruit Fusion Bliss

First on the menu is the Apple Red Dates Bird Nest Recipe , a harmonious blend of crisp apples, sweet red dates, and the nourishing essence of a bird's nest.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Soak 1-2 pieces of Royal Pure Nest Premium Cup Bird’s Nest for 2-3 hours until it doubles in size.

  • Place the soaked bird’s nest, red dates and diced apples into a slow cooker and let it cook on high heat setting for 3-4 hours depending on the texture you like your bird’s nest to be.

NOTE: Avoid cooking for too long as the bird’s nest might dissolve into fluid

  • When it is almost done, add goji berries, rock sugar and let it cook for another 5 minutes.

  • And now, it’s time to enjoy a warm bowl of nutritional bird’s nest soup a.k.a “Caviar of the East”

The result is a comforting dessert that is soothing with subtle sweetness and invigorating qualities.
