🇮🇩 Indonesia recipe

Es Cendol

Es Cendol is a beloved Indonesian iced dessert that is both refreshing and indulgent. Bright green pandan-flavored rice flour jelly droplets swim in a pool of cold, sweetened coconut milk, drizzled with dark palm sugar syrup. The combination of the fragrant, slippery jelly, creamy coconut milk, and smoky-sweet palm sugar creates a dessert that is cooling, satisfying, and uniquely Southeast Asian. It is the perfect antidote to a hot tropical day.
