Using a food processor or blender to blend the pandan leaves and water until well blended and then set the juice aside.
In a large pot, add banh gio mix, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Next add the coconut milk.
Then strain the pandan juice into the coconut milk cans. You’ll need to get 4 cans worth of pandan juice. If you don’t have enough, add enough water to make up the difference.
Stir well to ensure there are no clumps in the mixture. Add a few drops of green food coloring here if using.
Place the pot over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously during this process, which may take 15 to 20 minutes.
Once it starts to thicken, you will have to stir vigorously to get the mixture to be smooth.
It is cooked after it appears translucent and glossy. Stir and let it cook for 3-4 more minutes after this point.
Quickly pour the mixture into a baking dish or container and let it cool completely. This may take a couple of hours.
Cut, toss with scraped coconut, and serve.
Best if eaten the same day, but you can store leftovers in airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days for best taste.
Enjoy!
