Author: Theresa Chu
Serves: 24 pieces
- 160g gula melaka, cut into chunks
- 3 pieces of pandan leaves, tied into a bundle
- 750ml water
- 1 packet agar powder (10g - I used swallow brand agar)
- 250ml coconut milk (I use Heng Guan - Pasteurized Fresh Coconut Milk)
- pinch of salt
- In a large pot, boil gula melaka, pandan leaves in water till gula melaka dissolves.
- Remove pandan leaves and sieve the gula melaka mixture to remove any sediments.
- Add agar powder and bring the mixture back to a boil. Stir to ensure the agar powder is well dissolved.
- Add salt to coconut milk and stir to combine.
- Pour coconut milk into boiling gula melaka agar mixture. Give it a quick stir and bring it back to a boil. Turn off the fire immediately.
- Pour into moulds and allow the agar to set. As it sets, it should separate into two distinct layers.
- Once set, chill agar till required. Enjoy!
