Buko pandan salad is a dessert consisting of pandan flavored gelatin and shredded young coconut mixed with cream and sweetened milk. It is very popular in every Filipino party or salu-salo especially during Christmas time. Normally, to get the pandan flavor, the gelatin is cooked along with pandan leaves. This delicious buko pandan dessert is composed of buko strips (young coconut meat that is tender and jelly-like in texture), gelatin infused with the aromatic pandan leaves (or screwpine leaves), nata de coco (coconut jelly), and sago pearls. For the sauce, I used cream cheese for a thicker, creamier consistency.
