Pandan ice cream served

Pandan Ice Cream

Pandan ice cream is a popular dessert in Southeast Asia, gaining its distinctive aroma from the leaves of the pandan plant. Pandan leaves are often referred to as \'Asian vanilla\' because they impart a sweet and slightly nutty flavor to dishes. In Southeast Asian cuisines, pandan is commonly used not only in ice creams but also in cakes and beverages. The combination of coconut milk and heavy cream provides a perfect base for this ice cream, resulting in a silky and rich texture. Pandan can also give a natural green color to the ice cream, but if you desire a more intense shade, you can enhance the effect with a pinch of green food coloring. This ice cream is an excellent choice for those who love exotic flavors and are looking for an easy-to-make yet special dessert. Serve it with fresh pandan leaves or a sprinkle of toasted shredded coconut for an even more authentic experience!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    If using fresh pandan leaves, blend them with 100 ml of coconut milk, then strain the liquid. If using pandan extract, you can skip this step.

    2

    In a saucepan, combine the remaining coconut milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, but do not bring to a boil.

    3

    Remove from heat and add the pandan juice or extract, and vanilla extract. If you want a more vibrant color, add a pinch of green food coloring.

    4

    Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.

    5

    Pour the chilled ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour it into a freezer-safe container and stir with a fork every hour to prevent ice crystals from forming.

    6

    Place the ice cream in the freezer for at least 4 hours to harden completely.

    7

    Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make it easier to scoop. Garnish with fresh pandan leaves or shredded coconut.
