Es Pisang Ijo // Green wrapped banana on Ice

I remember exactly when was the last time I made this dessert. Back in 2001 at my kitchen school with my classroom mate "Theresia". We were always in the same group for our cooking class and mostly cook traditional Indonesian food apart from another pastry class that we learnt about various pastries from around the world  and cake decorating.This dessert however very refreshing for tropical country like Indonesia or summer in western country. For mostly Indonesian food or dessert the more effort your doing the more better it taste.

It has been confusing weather here in Melbourne with some heavy rain and cold or very sunny hot days sometimes. I was planned to make this dessert last week because I thought it will be as hot as the past week and I was wrong. Because I already bought all the ingredients I needed  I just carried on making it yesterday when the weather is cold :(

I have to hiding it from my daughter because somehow she got cough and runny nose again. I knew she would love this dessert as much as I do.Well maybe next time baby :)

I only make half of the recipe and Got the recipe from Indonesian online magazine called Femina
