Buko Pandan

Buko Pandan

Made with young coconut and pandan leaves, known for its creamy texture and vibrant green color.

Prep: 30 min Cook: 15 min

Ingredients

  • 567 g (20 oz) young coconut strips
  • 250 ml Nestlé All Purpose Cream
  • 150 ml Nestlé Carnation Condensada
  • 0.5 cup cooked sago pearls
  • 2 cup water
  • 85 g (3 oz) powdered gelatin
  • 0.2 kg (0.5 lbs) pandan leaves
  • 0.25 cup sugar
  • 0.5 tsp buko pandan flavoring

Instructions

  1. Boil water in a saucepan, then add pandan leaves.

  2. Cover and continue boiling for 15 minutes.

  3. Remove the leaves, then add sugar, powdered gelatin, and buko pandan flavoring. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved in water.

  4. Turn off the heat and transfer the mixture to a mold. Allow the temperature to cool.

  5. The texture of the mixture should be firm once cooled. You may also place this inside the refrigerator for faster results (Note: allow the temperature to go down before putting it in the refrigerator).

  6. Combine young coconut strips, Nestlé Carnation Condensada, Nestlé All Purpose Cream, and cooked sago pearls.

  7. Allow the texture to thicken by chilling in the refrigerator or freezer for a few hours.

  8. Slice the firm gelatin into ½ inch cubes and combine it with the creamy mixture.

  9. Transfer to individual serving platters or cups. You can also top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve, share, and enjoy!
