Recipe
Ingredients
- 12-15 pandanus leaves
- 1 can (400ml) coconut cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
Directions
- Wash the pandanus leaves and cut them into thin strips.
- Place the pandanus strips in a pot and add enough water to cover them.
- Boil the pandanus strips until they are soft and tender. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the water from the pot and add the coconut cream and sugar to the pandanus strips. Stir well to combine.
- Place the pot on low heat and stir the mixture constantly until it thickens. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Pour the Fai Fai into a greased dish and refrigerate until set. This should take about an hour.
- Once set, remove the Fai Fai from the dish and cut it into squares or triangles.
- Serve the Fai Fai chilled as a sweet treat.
- Note: If you can't find pandanus leaves, you can substitute with banana leaves. However, the flavor and texture may be slightly different. Also, make sure to use high-quality coconut cream for the best flavor.
