Trader Joe’s just released their Thai Coconut Pancakes, also known as Kanom Krok, and I couldn’t resist picking up a pack. With its authentic Thai recipe label, I was eager to give it a try especially since I never had Kanom Krok before. I figured the Trader Joe’s Thai Coconut Pancakes would be the perfect introduction to this popular Thai treat!
What is Kanom Krok?
Kanom Krok is a traditional Thai dessert made from rice flour, coconut milk, and sugar. These Thai coconut pancakes are cooked in a cast-iron pan with small indentations, giving them their signature shape. They have a crispy outer layer with a soft, creamy center.
Trader Joe’s Thai Coconut Pancakes Rating
One box costs $3.29, making it an affordable snack option. Each box contains nine small pancakes. Following the air fryer instructions, the pancakes came out with a crispy, crepe-like exterior and a soft creamy coconut filling. They weren’t sweet at all and had a slightly salty flavor in some parts, creating a balanced sweet-and-savory combination flavor profile.
