Pandan Agar Agar Jelly – a delightfully refreshing Malaysian dessert. The pandan extract creates an enticing natural light green colour.
By Shannon Lim

Pandan leaf is used extensively in Southeast Asian cooking to add a distinct aroma to rice and dishes such as nasi lemak, kaya jam preserves, and desserts such as pandan cake. Pandan leaf can be used as a complement to chocolate in many dishes, such as ice cream.

Besides the wonderful aroma, the extract from pandan leaves by blending with water gives a natural green colouring. Just like these enticing light green jelly or agar agar. Agar agar is a gelatinous substance derived from algae, commonly used in Asian desserts.

If you do not have jelly mould, you can also use muffin tray, mini tart mould or a 16cm glass dish / cake pan and cut into squares. Adding coconut milk to agar agar makes the mixture separates into 2 different layers – clear layer & milky layer, but it is not  very obvious here.
