Arahan

2 minutes
Wipe the bowl with a little vinegar to remove grease.
- 2
In a small saucepan, heat santan, pandan leaves, and lemongrass (if using) over low heat for 5 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool. Discard the leaves.
5 minutes
Do not boil the santan to prevent splitting.
- 3
Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks form.
5 minutes
Start at low speed, increasing gradually for best volume.

Gradually drizzle the cooled pandan-santan mixture and honey (or sweetener) into the egg whites while whipping, until stiff glossy peaks form.
5 minutes
Add liquids slowly to maintain foam structure.

Egg whites provide essential amino acids without the cholesterol found in yolks. The addition of santan offers a touch of healthy fats, while pandan and lemongrass bring antioxidants and micronutrients. Topping with fresh fruits increases fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, supporting heart health and digestion. There is minimal sugar and no gluten or dairy unless added as toppings.
