Notes on this recipe:
- As an alternative to whipping cream, you can also use all-purpose cream.
- If you do your groceries and market shopping at the supermarket like me, you’ll notice that the shredded young coconut will not be available.
- As an alternative, you can purchase a desiccated coconut.
- You can also make your own pandan gelatin. Just prepare the following ingredients:
- 1 box of unflavored gelatin
- (follow the instructions from the box then add in the last to items before it sets)
