Mix the shredded coconut with half the salt.
Lightly oil the molds and press the coconut into their bases.
Beat the eggs and sugar for 5 minutes, until pale.
Add the coconut milk and pandan extract.
Sift in the flour, baking powder, and remaining salt, and fold into the batter.
Divide the batter into the molds, filling them three-quarters full to leave room for steaming.
Steam the putu ayu for 18 minutes, until risen.
💡 Tip: Press the coconut lightly into the molds; the steaming batter will carry the top layer without scattering it.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm or at room temperature as small sweets with unsweetened tea.
