Creamy coconut & fragrant pandan leaf ice cream on white chocolate dipped vanilla macaron shells | garnished with toasted coconut flakes

Pandan tastes like a combination of grassy vanilla with a hint of coconut, often described as having a sweet floral fragrance with notes of almond and a slightly nutty flavor; it's primarily used for its aroma rather than a strong taste, similar to how vanilla is used in cooking. 

Key points about pandan taste:

• Fragrant: Its main characteristic is its strong, pleasant aroma. 

• Mildly sweet: It has a natural sweetness, not overly sugary. 

• Grassiness: Some describe a subtle grassy quality to the taste. 

• Coconut notes: Often paired with coconut flavors due to its subtle coconut-like taste. 

• Floral hints: A delicate floral aroma is present.
