Ingredients

  • 1 Young Coconut Regular coconut is not the same as young coconut and won't work.
  • 1 Avocado
  • 1 Mango
  • 2 tbsp Pandan Syrup
  • 4 tbsp Shredded coconut
  • 8 tbsp Coconut Milk unsweetened in the refrigerated section of grocery store.

Instructions

Making the Pandan Syrup

  • The first step is to make the syrup as it has to cool.
  • I used 2 discs of palm sugar which equals about three-quarters of a cup of sugar. Any kind of sugar will work.
  • Add the palm sugar discs and pandan leaves to ¼ cup of water in a small sauce pan and bring it to a simmer until the sugar melts. Set aside.

Making the Fruit Cocktail

  • Cut the meat from a young coconut into bite-sized pieces.
  • Cut the avocado and mango into bite-sized pieces.
  • Layer the fruit in 4 small mason jars or dessert dishes, ending with mango.
  • Sprinkle about a half tablespoon coconut on top of each dessert.
  • Add about 1 tablespoon crushed ice on top of each dessert.
  • Pour 2 tablesppons of coconut milk over the crushed ice on each dessert, top with rest of the coconut, and enjoy!
