Instructions

  1. In a pot, combine agar-agar and coconut juice and soak for about 30 minutes. 
  2. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring regularly, until agar-agar is melted.
  3. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Continue to cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until agar-agar is completely dissolved. 
  4. Add 2 drops of pandan extract and stir to combine.
  5. Remove from heat and carefully pour into a flat dish. Allow to cool until gulaman is set and hardened. Cut into ½-inch cubes.
  6. In a large bowl, combine gulaman, young shredded coconut, nata de coco, kaong, table cream, and condensed milk. 
  7. Add about 2 to 3 drops pandan extract and stir to distribute flavor and color. Chill for about 1 to 2 hours. Serve cold.

Notes

  • If using fresh screwpine or pandan leaves, tie a few strips into a knot and add when boiling the agar. Remove and discard when enough flavor and color are extracted.
