This fresh and delicious Pandan Coconut Milk Rolls recipe is perfect when baked from the comfort of your home. They are best served warm and are better than anything you will find at the local asian bakery store. Moist aromas will gently permeate the air right the oven and invite everyone to take a bite as they cool to room temp. Fresh from the oven is the best time to eat them because the rolls are warm, soft, moist, with a delicious hint of pandan fragrance. The best part of this recipe is that they are NOT TO SWEET and are just right for enjoying anytime of the day. Pandan leaves have a beautiful organic green aroma that will make your house feel like a home. If you live far away from the asian bakery store like we do (~3 hours away), it’s difficult to find fresh and delicious asian pastries or rolls. With this easy to follow recipe you will now be able to conjure up mouthwatering satisfaction anytime.
My family loves it when I bake this kind of, not too sweet, pastry at home. They think it is made to order and call for these all the time. We usually don’t have any leftovers but if we do, they disappear with morning coffee or as a grab breakfast treat. Since then this has grown into a family favorite.
