Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams grass jelly
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 200 grams palm sugar
- 250 ml water
- 1 whole pandan leaf
- 100 grams ice cubes
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Cut 500 grams of grass jelly into 2 cm cubes and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine 200 grams of palm sugar and 250 ml of water. Add one whole pandan leaf, tied into a knot, to the saucepan for flavor.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the palm sugar has completely dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes. Once dissolved, remove the pandan leaf and allow the syrup to cool.
In a separate small saucepan, gently heat 400 ml of coconut milk with a pinch of salt over low heat, stirring occasionally. Do not allow it to boil. Once warmed, remove from heat and let it cool.
To serve, distribute the grass jelly cubes into four serving bowls.
Pour an equal amount of the palm sugar syrup over the grass jelly cubes in each bowl.
Divide the coconut milk equally among the bowls, pouring it over the syrup and grass jelly.
Add a handful of ice cubes to each bowl to keep the dessert chilled and refreshing.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nut-free grass jelly dessert!
