Method:

  1. For lower layer: Mix half of the water and the bean flour in a bowl.  Pour the other half of the water in a pot and put the pandan leaves in it.  Bring to boil.
  2. When it’s boiling, remove the pandan leaves and lower the fire.  Add the bean flour mixture and stir continuously until the mixture turns transparent.
  3. Add in the water chestnuts and mix well.  Gently pour the mixture into the ready-made pandan leaf cups.  Fill only half of the cup.
  4. For upper layer: mix half of the coconut milk and the rice flour in a bowl. 
  5. Pour the other half of the coconut milk into a pot.  When it’s boiling, add the rice flour mix and stir continously over slow fire until the mixture thickens.  Use a whisk to even out the mixture.
  6. Gently pour the mixture on top of the 1st layer while it is still hot.
  7. Decorate with cherry chips if desired.  Serve cold or well chilled.
