Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Pandan leaves
- 2 drops Green food coloring
- 50 grams Mung bean flour
- 25 grams Corn flour
- 600 ml Water
- 150 grams Palm sugar
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Ice cubes
Instructions
Begin by making pandan juice: blend the pandan leaves with 200 ml of water and strain to extract the juice. Mix with green food coloring for a vibrant hue.
In a pot, combine mung bean flour, corn flour, and the pandan juice. Stir until smooth.
Add the remaining water (400 ml) to the mixture and mix well.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens and becomes translucent. This should take about 10 minutes.
Prepare an ice water bath by filling a large bowl with ice cubes and cold water.
Using a cendol mold or a perforated ladle, press the hot mixture through over the ice water bath. This forms the noodles. Let them sit in the ice water to set.
In a small saucepan, melt the palm sugar with 100 ml water over low heat. Stir until completely dissolved, and set aside to cool.
Mix the coconut milk with salt and set aside.
To assemble, divide the cendol into serving bowls, add palm sugar syrup, and finally, pour coconut milk over the top.
Serve immediately with additional ice cubes to keep the dessert chilled.
