Sweet Pandanus Leaf Dessert
A traditional sweet treat from Tuvalu, this dessert features tender pandanus leaves simmered in coconut cream and sugar, creating a unique, fragrant, and chewy confection.
🧂 Zutaten
- 15 leaves Pandanus leaves(fresh or frozen, thinly sliced)
- 400 ml Coconut milk(full fat)
- 1/2 cup Sugar(or to taste)
- as needed Water
👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Wash the pandanus leaves thoroughly and cut them into very thin strips (about 1-2 mm wide).

Place the pandanus strips in a pot and add enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the leaves are softened and tender.

Drain the water from the pot, leaving the softened pandanus strips.
- 4
Add the coconut milk and sugar to the pot with the pandanus strips. Stir well to combine.
- 5
Place the pot over low heat. Stir the mixture constantly for about 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Be careful not to scorch the bottom.
- 6
Pour the Fai Fai into a greased dish or individual serving bowls.
- 7
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set. Serve chilled.
💡 Profitipps
- ✓If fresh pandanus leaves are unavailable, frozen ones can be used. Thaw them completely before slicing.
- ✓The consistency should be thick but still spoonable. If it's too thin, cook for a few more minutes. If too thick, add a splash more coconut milk.
- ✓Adjust the sugar to your preferred sweetness.
