Pandanus Jelly

⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pandanus juice (or fresh pandan leaves if making juice)
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon agar-agar powder
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

Prepare Pandanus Juice (if using fresh leaves)

If you have fresh pandan leaves, wash and cut them into small pieces.

Blend the pandan leaves with a little water to make a thick paste.

Strain the paste through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to extract the juice. You need about 2 cups of pandanus juice.

Make the Jelly

In a small saucepan, combine the agar-agar powder and water. Stir to dissolve and let it sit for a few minutes.

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it comes to a boil. Continue to boil for about 1-2 minutes until the agar-agar is completely dissolved.

In a separate bowl, mix the pandanus juice, coconut milk, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.

Add the agar-agar mixture to the pandanus and coconut mixture. Stir well to combine.

Set the Jelly

Pour the mixture into a mold or individual serving dishes.

Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.

Serve

Once the jelly is set, unmold it (if using a large mold) and cut into pieces if desired.

Enjoy your meal!
