Ingredients
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 10 grams Psyllium husk powder
- 5 grams Matcha green tea powder
- 200 milliliters Water (for cendol dough)
- 10 grams Gelatin powder
- 400 milliliters Coconut milk
- 50 grams Erythritol or stevia
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Pandan extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and matcha green tea powder. Stir in 200 ml of water gradually until mixture is smooth.
Step 2
Add gelatin powder to the mixture and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until gelatin dissolves completely and mixture thickens to a dough-like consistency.
Step 3
Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside.
Step 4
Place the thickened dough into a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip or use a potato ricer. Pipe the cendol into the ice water, allowing it to set into strands. Once set, drain and refrigerate.
Step 5
In a separate saucepan, combine coconut milk, erythritol (or stevia), vanilla extract, pandan extract, and salt. Cook over low heat until the sweetener dissolves completely, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Step 6
To serve, divide the chilled cendol strands into serving glasses. Add ice cubes and pour the sweetened coconut milk mixture over the cendol.
Step 7
Stir gently and serve immediately for a refreshing low-carb dessert.
