Instructions
- Confirm ready-cooked pandan cendol jelly is completely cooked and safely chilled; never serve raw rice-flour jelly.
- Divide cendol jelly between two clean tall glasses.
- Add palm sugar syrup and ice, then gently pour chilled coconut milk over the layered dessert.
- For this original jackfruit adaptation, add 55 g ripe jackfruit pieces to the prepared base and stir or blend until evenly dispersed; if it is a spice or chopped solid, hydrate, infuse or melt it in the warm phase, then strain if necessary.
- Stir only at the table and serve immediately with both a spoon and a straw.
Tips
- Serve with a spoon or wide straw; pre-cooked gel, noodles or pearls require temperature control and thoughtful choking-risk labeling.
- Perishables must not sit at room temperature longer than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C).
