Preparation
- Wash a handful of fresh pandan leaves and blend them with a cup of water until smooth, then strain to collect the juice. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk, pandan juice, sugar, and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is mixed thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, mix agar-agar powder with 1/2 cup of water and let it sit for 5 minutes to hydrate.
- Place the coconut and pandan mixture on medium heat and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir continuously until it thickens slightly.
- Once your mixture is warmed, add the hydrated agar-agar. Keep stirring until the agar-agar fully dissolves—this usually takes around 5 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into a mold or individual serving cups. Allow it to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Once set, carefully unmold the jelly onto a serving plate and cut it into squares. You can also garnish it with fresh fruits, if desired.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If freezing, cut into pieces and use a freezer-safe container to enjoy for up to a month. Serve cold for the best texture.
