Chendol is an exquisite Southeast Asian dessert that takes you on a delightful culinary journey. With its creamy coconut milk, delectable pandan jelly, sweet palm sugar syrup, and refreshing shaved ice, each spoonful offers a blend of textures and flavors that are both comforting and invigorating.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Shaved ice
as needed
Red beans
1 cup, cooked
Water
500ml, divided
Palm sugar
200g
Rice flour
100g
Pandan leaves
10 leaves
Coconut milk
400ml

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the rice flour with 200ml of water. Stir until well mixed, ensuring no lumps form.
  2. Add the pandan leaves to the mixture and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a jelly-like consistency. This should take about 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Remove the pandan jelly from heat and let it cool. Once cooled, strain the mixture to remove the leaves, and cut the jelly into small pieces.
  4. In another saucepan, combine the palm sugar with the remaining 300ml of water. Simmer over low heat until the sugar dissolves completely and forms a syrup. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. Let the palm sugar syrup cool down and then strain to remove any impurities.
  6. To serve, divide the pandan jelly, cooked red beans, and shaved ice evenly into serving bowls.
  7. Pour the coconut milk and palm sugar syrup generously over the ingredients in each bowl. The dessert should be a beautiful mix of green, white, and brown hues.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing and sweet dessert!

Tips

  • 💡 The pandan jelly can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
  • 💡 To enhance the flavor, you can soak the red beans in water overnight before cooking.
  • 💡 For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk.
