Look Choob (Green Bean Miniature Fruit)


LOOK CHOOB looks just like marzipan but it is made of steamed green beans, coconut milk and sugar – instead of almond flour and sugar. The green bean paste is molded into a shape of a variety of tropical fruits and then is dip-coated in jelly that gives it a shiny look. These Look Choob mini-fruits have very tantalizing colors and sugary flavor – when they are arranged together, they look more like mini decoratives than desserts

OK, Let's try!

I don't have the picture of step-by-step of this how to do this. I take from

• Once it has cooled, mould into fruit shapes.
• Use the food colouring to colour the fruit shapes.
