�Bottom Layer

  • Blend pandan leaves with water, then strain to obtain pandan extract. Cook pandan extract over medium heat. Add sugar and using a hand whisk, stir for 1 minute or until sugar dissolves. Continue stirring while adding rice flour, a few spoonfuls at a time. Do not stop stirring to avoid clumping. Cook until it thickens. The batter should be producing some steam at this point of time.
  • Scoop some pandan batter into containers of your choice. The batter should fill up ? of each container. Repeat until the batter finishes.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of sugar on the pandan layer in each container. This will create a thin layer of sugar syrup once the hot coconut milk layer is added to it.
