Tropical Pandan Roll

At the heart of this tropical Vietnamese-inspired dessert is a light, airy pandan sponge, its gentle green hue and floral aroma giving way to a soft, springy crumb. Freshly whipped cream is spread in a cool, billowy layer, then dotted with sweet, juicy mango for bursts of sunshine in every bite. Rolled into a graceful spiral, it’s as beautiful to slice as it is to serve.

Rooted in Southeast Asian tradition yet touched with a pâtisserie’s elegance, it’s fragrant but not overpowering, sweet but not heavy — the kind of dessert that feels refreshing even after a full meal. Served chilled, the flavors meld into a creamy, fruity cloud, the pandan lending a whisper of coconut-vanilla nostalgia.
