Luuk Chuup: Popular Thai Sweets

Luuk Chuup sold at the market in Chantaburi, Thailand.

This colorful sweets are really attractive! This is our family favorite since the time we first visited Thailand.  It's amazing how they are intricately formed into various shapes of fruits and vegetables. Thai people's creativity, gentleness, and passion for beauty are really demonstrated in the way these Thai sweets are made! Although they all taste the same but eating them can really be interesting as you enjoy them piece by piece.

Luuk chuup is made mainly of ground beans sweetened with sugar and cooked with coconut milk. It is wrapped with gelatin with jasmine extract, thus it is also fragrant.  It is not only delicious but also high in protein and carbohydrates.

    Reminds me of marzipan fruits, which are made from almond paste and sculpted to look like different fruit.
