Product Information

For instance, to create a topical ointment for joint pain, infuse coconut oil with pandan leaves. Test it on a small area of your skin to ensure that you don’t have any allergic reactions, such as redness or itching ( 1 , 2, 8, 9). Some non-Western medicinal practices also use this technique to stop bleeding gums. However, this effect needs to be studied more formally. SUMMARY Firstly, you want to make pandan juice. Place chopped pandan leaves and water in a food chopper or a small food processor. Then, blitz it until it turns into pandan paste. Sieve its juice and discard the pulp. Blend Again –You can repeat the blending step by adding more water to the pulp, but the extract will be weaker this time around. This is good for when you want to flavour rice etc, which requires extra water added anyway.

For recipes such as panna cotta, crème brûlée, and custards that call for infusing milk or liquids with flavors such as vanilla, instead add a few knotted leaves of pandan during the steeping process. Before starting this pandan cake recipe, you need to prepare the pandan juice or extract. I recommend following my detailed recipe on How to make pandan extract from scratch. If using store-bought extract, skip this step. For recipes that use water as well like cooking rice or a sauce, it’s good to use the fresh pandan extract / pandan juice. We recommend a 3:1 ratio here. So if it calls for 1 tsp of pandan paste, use 3 tsp of fresh pandan extract. Wandercook’s Tips The maximum amount of time you should churn your ice cream is 20 minutes. The more you churn your ice cream, the harder it becomes. A done ice cream will have the consistency of something slightly harder than soft serve. How do you store pandan ice cream? Both pandan and vanilla are commonly used to infuse desserts with lovely aromas and flavors, but the tastes are not interchangeable.

Fresh leaves can be turned into a paste by pounding them or grinding in a mortar and pestle, then mixing in a small amount of water. The solid pieces should be removed before adding as a flavoring to a wide range of desserts and savory dishes. Because this leaf only gives the cake a strong aroma and fragrance, but not color. In Indonesia, they use Daun Suji/ Suji leaf to give green color to the food. This leaf has a stronger intensity for coloring but a milder aroma compared to the pandan. I have never come across these Suji leaves outside Indonesia, therefore I sometimes would add a little pandan paste so the cake will be greener.

Cool cake upside down – As soon as the cake has come out of the oven, turn the tube pan upside down and let it cool inverted. This is why it’s important to have the tube pan with legs. Cooling it upside down will help it retain its height and stay extra fluffy. When storing cupcakes with coconut vanilla frosting, allow the frosting to firm up a bit by leaving the cupcakes uncovered at room temperature for about an hour. Wrap the leaves in a cloth and bind tightly with string – this is done to infuse the flavor into the water.Vanilla extract– Adds flavor to the ice cream. You can substitute with 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste or 1 vanilla bean.
