🇲🇾 Malaysia recipe
Cendol
Cendol is Malaysia's most beloved iced dessert, a cooling antidote to the tropical heat. Mounds of shaved ice are topped with wobbly, emerald-green pandan-flavored rice flour jelly, drenched in thick coconut milk and dark, fragrant gula melaka (palm sugar) syrup. The interplay of creamy, sweet, and the subtle floral pandan creates a dessert that is deeply satisfying in its simplicity.
