Thai Pandan Custard Recipes

THAI PANDAN CUSTARD

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl beat the two eggs.
• To get coconut cream, remove the lid from a can of coconut milk and, without stirring the contents, remove the top cream and discard the thin liquid. It should take around 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk to yield 1 1/4 cups coconut cream.
• Add the coconut cream and sugar to the eggs, and whisk it together until the sugar dissolves. Pour this into a double boiler and stir it constantly until it thickens up. Then add milk, mix well, and add the pandan. Continue stirring until it thickens up then transfer to smaller bowls.
• Serve with warm bread or sweet bread of your choice. We love this as a dipping for fresh waffles. Enjoy!

PANDAN SPREAD

Steps:

• Blend pandan leaves and water together in a blender or food processor until smooth; strain through a piece of cheesecloth. You should get about 1/2 cup pandan juice; you can discard anything more than that.
• Beat eggs in a bowl; add coconut cream and sugar and continue beating until sugar is dissolved.
• Place egg mixture over a double boiler and stir while heating. Add evaporated milk and pandan juice. Stir until mixture has thickened into a custard, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove from heat and spoon into a serving dish. Serve custard with squares of white bread.

SANKAYA (THAI PANDAN PUDDING)

Steps:

• Heat coconut milk over medium-high heat in a small pot until it just begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
• Combine water, cornstarch, and tapioca starch in the empty coconut milk can; stir until all starches are dissolved.
• Add water and starch mixture to coconut milk, stirring gently. Keep mixing until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in well beaten egg yolk. Keep cooking pudding over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent it from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan. Add pandan and salt; stir for 30 seconds more. Remove from heat and let settle until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.

PANDAN PANCAKES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the coconut custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch.
• Pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• Once the coconut milk is simmering, very slowly pour into the bowl with the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine and temper the eggs.
• Return the mixture to the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a clean medium bowl and whisk in the vanilla and coconut extracts.
• Set the bowl over another bowl filled with ice water (make sure the water level is not so high that it gets into the custard) and let the custard cool for 10 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Once the custard has cooled, scoop onto the prepared baking sheet in 1-tablespoon discs, spacing evenly. You should have at least 20 custard discs. Transfer to the freezer for 90 minutes, until frozen.
• Make the pancakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and pandan extract. Add the melted butter and whisk to combine.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix; some lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or a pancake griddle over medium-low heat and grease with nonstick spray. Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan and cook the pancake halfway, about 2-3 minutes. Place a disc of frozen coconut custard in the center, cover the custard with about 1 tablespoon more batter and flip. Cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes more. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter and coconut custard to make 20 pancakes total.
• Serve with butter, maple syrup, and toasted coconut flakes.
• Enjoy!
