Ingredients:

  • 10g agar agar powder (Pandan Layer)
  • 800ml filtered water (Pandan Layer)
  • 150g granulated white sugar (Pandan Layer)
  • 10 fresh pandan leaves
  • 1 tsp pandan extract
  • 1 drop green food coloring
  • 10g agar agar powder (Coconut Layer)
  • 400ml high fat canned coconut milk
  • 400ml filtered water (Coconut Layer)
  • 130g granulated white sugar (Coconut Layer)
  • 0.25 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Blend 10 fresh pandan leaves with the 800ml water until the liquid is dark green.
  2. Pour the green liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a medium pot, squeezing the pulp to get every drop.
  3. Whisk in 10g agar agar powder and 150g sugar into the green liquid while it's still cold. Wait until it's clump free before heating.
  4. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the agar is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes).
  5. Stir in the pandan extract and food coloring, then pour half of this mixture into your prepared pan.
  6. In a separate pot, whisk 10g agar agar, 130g sugar, 400ml water, and 0.25 tsp salt. Bring to a boil.
  7. Once boiling, stir in the 400ml coconut milk. Heat until just simmering but do not let it boil vigorously or the fat might separate.
  8. Check your first green layer. If it feels like the back of a Post it note, it's time.
  9. Use the back of a large spoon to break the fall of the coconut liquid, pouring it slowly over the green layer to prevent breaking the surface.
  10. Repeat with remaining layers if desired, then let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
