Vegan Pandan Coconut Jelly. A light, refreshing and delicious Asian inspired dessert that only calls for 5-ingredients! It'll sure impress your guests with the layers!

This pandan coconut jelly cake is one of my favourite things to make if I am craving that beautiful pandan flavour! The combination of the coconut milk with the pandan is so wonderful and tropical tasting!

The layers are super easy to nail for this pandan coconut jelly recipe. You just need a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon to pour each layer after the previous layer has reached firmness. It's also important to firm the layers at room temperature so the layers stick to each other.

What is pandan?

Pandan is a herbaceous tropical plant that grows in Southeast Asia. It’s a very fragrant plant thanks to it’s vanilla and floral grass scent. The plant looks similar to a palm with vibrant green leaves that are long and pointy. The leaves are utilized for their delicious taste in many Thai and Southeast Asian Dishes. Pandan is usually sold as an extract, paste or powder to flavour treats.

How is pandan used?

It’s commonly used to flavour many Thai or Southeast Asian desserts, such as cakes, jellies and more. Sometimes the leaves are used to wrap sticky with as the flavour seeps into the sticky rice making it taste wonderful!

Where can I buy pandan essence?

You can usually buy it from most asian grocers on online. Just search online for “Pandan Leaf Essence” or Extract. I would not recommend using the powders unless you’re familiar with using them.

For this recipe

You will need the following ingredients for my pandan coconut layer jelly:

Pandan layer:

  • 1 tbsp pandan extract
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 ½ tsp agar agar powder

Coconut milk layer:

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 ½ tsp agar agar powder

How to Make Pandan Coconut Jelly

  1. In a small pot, whisk together pandan layer ingredients. In another small pot, whisk together ingredients for coconut milk layer. Bring both pots to boil and reduce to very low heat to keep jelly from solidifying.
  2. In a silicone mold (or small glasses), carefully scoop 1 tbsp of the pandan mixture and pour into 6 molds. Wait 3 minutes for it to firm at room temperature (check with your finger).
  3. Then pour 1 tbsp of coconut mixture on top. Repeat process until your 6 molds are filled. If you don't own small glasses or molds, use a 8 x 6 x 3 inch glass container.
  4. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Serve with fresh fruit and sweet condensed coconut milk or evaporated coconut milk.
