Grass Jelly Ice (Es Campur) – Ramadan Day 4 and 5

TGIF Friends 😀

It’s long weekend for us here, well not for my husband, just for the kids, but still, long weekend, woo-hoo 😀

Back with my 30 Days of Indonesia, through food, project, where just like in 2018, when it was fasting month of Ramadan, I would share daily Indonesian recipe, especially sweets, desserts, and drinks.

I encourage those who are fasting, who are in Indonesia or other countries and are familiar with this holy month, to tag their whatever post as long as they are related to Ramadan, with #ramadan-tkf. I will swing by their articles and give a little vote 🙂

Today is Day 5 in Canada (Day 6 already in Indonesia), and yesterday and this evening, I had and will have donuts 😛

My husband got the boys a big box of donuts and I had and also saved a couple yesterday and for this eve.

Soooo, that being said, for Day 4 (yesterday) and Day 5 (today), I am sharing this, Indonesian ice dessert called Es Campur. I made this back in April, I went to an Indonesian gathering, but hey, I did not have time to share it back then, too many recipes, too little time, hahaha. So, while the month is fitting, am sharing now 🙂

Inside this ice dessert I had grass jelly, toddy palm fruit, white kidney beans, basil seeds, and cendol (green goodies made of rice flour). They all combined and then served chilled or with ice along with palm sugar syrup and salted coconut milk.

This ice dessert is perfect for summer and excellent for gatherings 🙂

• 1 can white kidney beans, rinse (forgot to take a pic!)
• 1 can grass jelly, rinsed, cubed
• 1 can toddy palm fruit in heavy syrup, do NOT rinse
• 1/3 c basil seeds, soaked in enough water to cover it, set aside to bloom
• cendol, recipe bellow!
• ice cubes or shaved ice

Cendol

• 1 pouch agar-agar powder
• 5 tbsp rice flour
• 500 ml water
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp pandan paste (it’s green, if you use pandan extract, add food coloring as cendol is normally green or pink)
• a large bowl of icy water
• potato ricer/masher
• Mix all ingredients and bring to a boil, mixture will thickened
• Pour into ricer and push onto icy water

Coconut Milk

• 3 cans of coconut milk
• 2 screwpine leaves, tied in knot
• a pinch of salt
• Bring to boil, cool to room temperature

Sugar Syurp

• 2 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 2 screwpine leaves, tied in knot
• a pinch of salt
• Bring to boil, set aside to cool to room tempt

So to serve, place everything in a very large bowl or container, mix to combine, then add tons of ice cubes to chill the dessert 😀

Spoon into serving cups and treat yourself with this awesome ice dessert which you can find almost in any South East Asian countries by the way, with other varieties of fillings. So, so good 😀

See you tomorrow for Day 6 😀
