Instructions
Prepare the peas
Soak the dried peas in clean water until they swell, then peel them. Place the peas in a pot, add fresh water (enough to cover the peas), and cook over heat until soft and falling apart. Let cool, drain off the water, then pass through a sieve and press with a spoon to make a smooth paste. Set aside.
Cook the mixture
Combine the fine granulated sugar and water in a pot and cook until the sugar fully dissolves. Add the fresh milk, coconut milk, and pea paste, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Thicken and set
Mix the cornstarch, water chestnut starch, and water into a smooth slurry. Stir the slurry into the mixture from step 2 to thicken it. Remove from heat, pour into a square mold, and chill in the refrigerator until firm. Cut into blocks and serve.
