Directions

  1. Peel the chestnuts, remove the shells, and cut them into small pieces. ≈ 8 min
  2. Combine the peeled beet with a little water and filter to obtain a red juice. Do the same with the pandan for a green juice. ≈ 4 min
  3. Bring the beetroot juice to a boil with a little sugar, then add half of the diced beetroot and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain the beetroot and coat it with tapioca. Repeat the process with the pandan juice and the remaining beetroot.
  4. Place the coated dice in boiling water until their coating becomes translucent, then cool them in cold water.
  5. Open the coconut. Boil its water with a little sugar and 3g of agar-agar, then pour it into the walnut shell and let it set. Add a second layer made of 200ml of sweetened water, 2g of agar-agar, and a little coconut milk.
  6. Heat the remaining coconut milk with sugar and a tablespoon of tapioca starch dissolved in 200 ml of water until it boils.
  7. Serve the chestnuts in a sauce made with coconut milk, over a jelly. ≈ 2 min
