Green color has always been so special for me. Due to the presence of greenery and plants in the environment, green color is a symbol of freshness for me. I also love green tea due to the inclusion of natural extracts in it. Despite my huge love for “Green”, I was never attracted to green desserts.

Last month, I happened to visit my grandmother who loves pandan. Initially, I thought it would taste just like a sip of green tea. But to be honest, I fall in love not only with its taste but also with fragrance. Since then, whenever I crave cakes and sweet desserts. I go for my yummy creamy Pandan Cupcakes Recipe.

People usually prepare the batter for pandan cupcakes by using pandan paste. But the taste of pure fresh pandan leaves is beyond imagination. Yummy!

The most amazing way is to give this yummy creamy flavoring Pandan Cupcake to your kids as a reward for achieving something. Setting such healthy rewards will not only make your family happier but also healthier. Do you want to know my wonderful secret Pandan cupcakes recipe?

Ingredients

⅓ cup whole milk or coconut milk

½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

Step By Step Guide For Make Pandan Cupcakes

STEP 01

Turn on your oven to preheat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

STEP 02

As I am sharing a recipe for making 12 cupcakes, so place 12 cupcake liners in a standard size muffin pan.

STEP 03

Sift all the powdered ingredients including all-purpose flour, salat, and baking powder in a bowl through a fine sifter.

STEP 04

Take fresh pandan leaves and cut them before blending with water in a blender. Continue blending until you will get a green-colored pandan pulp. If you cannot get fresh pandan leaves, you can use frosted ones also.

STEP 05

Strain pandan pulp to get the fresh juicy extract of pandan leaves. Pour pandan juice over ⅓ cup of coconut milk. You can use whole milk as well. The mixture of milk and pandan pulp should be approximately ½ cup. If it is less than ½ milk, I suggest you add some water to the pulp to extract more juice.

STEP 06

Now take a bowl and add sugar and butter to it. Beat sugar and butter with a beater until it becomes creamy, light, and fluffy.

STEP 07

Also, add a large-sized egg to the mixture. Beat again for some time to make a smooth mixture. Finally, add ⅛ teaspoon of pandan paste.

STEP 08

After beating the mixture thoroughly, add half of the sifted flour mixture. Pour Pandan coconut milk mixture in it before adding the remaining half flour mixture. Continue to beat the mixture until you will get a smooth-textured batter.

STEP 09

Fill the tins of lined muffins by using an ice-cream scoop up to ⅔ of the total size.

STEP 10

Bake these creamy Pandan cupcakes in a preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. Before taking out cupcakes, make sure whether the cake is baked properly or not. If you get any batter mixture on the cake tester, bake it for some more minutes.

STEP 11

Cool the cupcakes in the fridge before icing them.

STEP 12

To make your green-colored cupcake more beautiful, frost it with a mixture of half whipped cream along with vanilla extract pandan paste. Use your own frosting style to decor the green desserts.
