Pandan Jelly With Coconut Milk (Pandan Agar-Agar)



This is a recipe for Pandan or Pandanus Jelly With Coconut dessert. The enticing light green color of the jelly is made from the essence of pandan leaves. Again, it’s a very light and refreshing agar agar (meaning jelly in Malay) based dessert. If you like the pandan fragrant, then, I am certain you will enjoy this jelly very much.

Pandan Jelly With Coconut Milk (Pandan Agar-Agar)

Ingredients

500 ml (2 cups) Water
3 tsp Agar-agar Powder
5 to 7 Tbsp Cane Sugar
100 ml Pandan Juice
100 ml Coconut Milk (preferable 100% coconut milk)
A Pinch of Sea Salt

Method

Pandan Juice: Rinse 8 Pandan leaves and, cut into 2 cm lengths. Blend the pandan leaves with 120 ml of water. Strain the pandan juice and discard solids. (You'll only need 100 ml)

In a medium saucepan, combine water, pandan juice, agar-agar powder, sugar, coconut milk, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until all the agar-agar powder dissolves. Then bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar completely dissolves, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into a shallow dish, or jelly mould. Set aside to cool completely before chilling in the refrigerator. Cut into your desired sizes and serve chilled.

  6. Which section in T&T can you get Pandan leaves? I've been looking for it for a while now... but I haven't seen it at T&T yet! Are they usually fresh or are they frozen? And which T&T do you go to?

    THanks for answering! :)

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
