Cendol is a popular Southeast Asian dessert that Cambodians have made their own. Pandan-flavored rice flour jelly is pressed through a mold to create short, worm-like strands, which are then served in a bowl of sweetened coconut milk with shaved ice and palm sugar syrup. Some versions add red beans, corn, or jackfruit. It's the ultimate refreshing treat in Cambodia's tropical heat.
