If you are looking for a dessert that is refreshing, creamy, and full of tropical flavors, you should try buko pandan. Buko pandan is a popular Filipino dessert that is made with shredded young coconut, green pandan-flavored gelatin, and sweetened cream. It is usually served chilled or frozen, and sometimes with additional ingredients like tapioca pearls, nata de coco, kaong, or ice cream.
Buko pandan is a simple dessert that can be made in three easy steps:
- Make the pandan gelatin. You can use agar-agar bars or powdered gelatin, and flavor them with pandan extract or fresh pandan leaves. Boil the gelatin mixture in water or coconut juice until dissolved, then pour it into a mold and let it set in the fridge. Once firm, cut the gelatin into small cubes.
- Prepare the other ingredients. Shred the young coconut meat, or buy it pre-shredded from the store. Drain the nata de coco and kaong, if using. Cook the tapioca pearls in water until soft and translucent, then rinse and drain them.
- Combine everything together. In a large bowl, mix the condensed milk and all-purpose cream. Add the pandan gelatin, shredded coconut, nata de coco, kaong, and tapioca pearls. Stir well to coat everything with the cream mixture. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to let the flavors meld.
That’s it! You now have a delicious buko pandan dessert that you can enjoy anytime. You can serve it in individual cups or in a large platter. You can also top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra creaminess and sweetness.
