Keeping up with my #promo-indonesia via 30 Days of Indonesia series, by introducing various traditional sweets from throughout Indonesia, this is for Day 12, which I made late afternoon, yesterday.
Some would call this cold drink as es merah delima – red ruby ice, when it is red. Others would call it blue sapphire ice, when it is blue. As for me? I like calling it as simple as Es Bengkoang – Jicama Ice, as it is made of jicama (jicama is bengkoang in Indonesian).
As I’d like to make the ice more appealing to my littles who’d normally eat jicama as is, I made them pretty colorful, of green, red, and blue.
It is served with coconut milk and if you’d like to, you can also drizzle some condensed milk.
ingredients
- 1 large jicama, peeled and cubed
- VF food coloring
- water as needed, for boiling
- 3 bowls of ice water
- crushed ice for serving
coating
- for each color, 30 g tapioca flour plus 5 g corn starch
coconut milk
- 1 can of thick coconut milk, 400 ml
- 1 screw pine leaf, knotted
- a pinch of salt
- 1/2 c sugar
how to
- bring coconut milk ingredients to boik, until sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool to room temperature (chill is great too)
- in 3 separate bowls, fill with water and tint each with the food coloring
- soak cubed jicama for 1/2 H
- on 3 separate plates, mix tapioca flour and cornstarch
- bring water to boil, drop jicama per color, cook for 1 minute (until cubes are floating)
- with slotted spoon, take out jicama and drop them in ice water, let stand for 2 minutes, drain
- serve jicama with coconut milk and crushed ice

Enak nih kalau ada sirup cocopandan, enak juga kalau pakai kinca. Sesuka hati aja sih, dan kalau mau, juga enak dikasih SKM 😉
