Pandan coconut cake9/27/2023 You'll also need some coconut milk, although that's a lot more readily available in your local grocery stores. All you need is to buy yourself some pandan extract, which can usually be found in an Asian grocery store or you can also buy it online if there's no Asian stores near you. If we're opening a restaurant, we'd definitely consider putting this on the dessert menu! And it's very easy to make too. It's like a match made in heaven! And the pancake's fluffy texture mixed with the fragrant pandan flavour goes perfectly together. We used pandan extract to make the pancakes, and the coconut milk to make the custard filling. And in Indonesia, where my family is from, it's often paired with coconut milk to make a sweet snack or cake. Inspired by that, we decided to incorporate pandan and coconut milk into one Western dish, pancakes! They have this nutty, leafy flavour and are often used for desserts and sweets alike. Pandan is basically a plant that's extensively used as flavouring in the South and Southeast Asian regions. If your family is from the Southeast Asia region like I am, then you must be pretty familiar with it. Ok, some of you must be asking what in the world is pandan. And this, my friend, is the result: Coconut custard pandan pancakes! Naturally, one of the things we love the most is Asian fusion food! If we're not on Yelp hunting down the latest fusion spots, we're always trying to figure out new ways to blend Western and Asian cuisines in our recipes. We consider ourselves very lucky to be raised in Asian households in Canada, being exposed to both Eastern and Western cuisines.
