Progetto Dodici: Buko Pandan

I wasn't in the mood for baking, I made this treat instead.

Ingredients:
8 Pandan Leaves
5 Coconut not too hard, not too soft- Grated to strips
10 Cups of Water
3 small cans of Cream
1 medium can of Condensed Milk
2 bars of Green Gulaman
1 3/4 Cups Sugar (more if you want it sweeter)
1 cup Kaong (optional)

Procedure:
1. Boil water together with 8 pandan leaves that are individually twisted to break the fibers and expose the juice. Simmer for 20 minutes.
2. Before adding 2 bars of gulaman, make sure you remove the pandan leaves and check if the remaining water is equal to 8 cups – 1 bar of gulaman is good for 4 cups of liquid. If it is not 8 cups, less will mean hard gulaman and more than 8 cups will result in mushy soft gulaman.
3. Ensuring gulaman is well-dissolved stir well.
4. Add sugar while mixing. Do this for 5 minutes.
5. Pour through a strainer into cooling trays. Wait till it cools and hardens, then put in fridge.
6. Meanwhile, mix the grated buko with the 3 cans of cream and 1 can of condensed milk.
7. Add kaong if you prefer.
8. Get gulaman from fridge and cut into 1 cm cubes.
9. Mix with buko mixture.
