How to Make Guilinggao

Finished Guilinggao

Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★

Ingredients and Tools Needed

Each batch yields approximately 3–4 small bowls, suitable for 2–4 people.

Pour 25 g of Guilinggao powder and 120 ml of cold water into a pot. Stir thoroughly until no lumps remain.
In another container, add 100 g of white granulated sugar and pour in 500 ml of boiling water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Slowly pour the sugar water into the Guilinggao powder mixture, stirring immediately to prevent clumping.
Transfer the mixture back into the pot. Heat over medium-low heat while stirring continuously to prevent sticking to the bottom.
Cook until the liquid thickens and begins to form small bubbles, then remove from heat.
Quickly pour the mixture into a mold and allow it to cool and set naturally. For better texture, refrigerate for 1–2 hours before serving.

Avoid moving the container while the Guilinggao is cooling, as this may affect its setting.
Avoid using high heat during cooking to prevent clumping or burning the bottom.
You can add honey, condensed milk, or fruit according to your personal preference.
The concentration of Guilinggao powder may vary slightly by brand. Refer to the package instructions and adjust the ratios as needed.
