Step 1
Combine coconut milk, 1 cup water, pandan paste, and salt in a pot. Stir over medium-low heat until steaming and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Do not boil. Remove from heat and chill.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine palm sugar with 1 cup water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and syrup is amber, about 5 minutes. Pour into a bowl and cool for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Bring a pot of water to boil. Add cendol and stir gently until they float and are tender, 2–3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Step 4
Divide cendol between two serving bowls. Top each with half the crushed ice.
Step 5
Pour half the coconut broth into each bowl, then drizzle 2–3 tbsp palm syrup on top. Stir gently and serve immediately.
