Buko-Pandan Float

I went to the grocery last weekend and bought 2 boxes of nestle cream with a plan to make buko-pandan pie for the validation guys. While looking for my ingredients i was surprised to see that there's a new variety of Nestle cream out in the market, its the Buko and Strawberry flavored Nestle Cream. Good timing. No need for me to look for buko flavor since the cream already has its own, so i took another 2 boxes, neglecting Strawberry since i'm not a fan of it, head down to the baking section, took all the remaining ingredients and went home. When i was about to start with my buko-pandan pie, i remembered that i don't have a circle pan for a pie! Got no more butter in the ref, bought crackers instead of crushed graham and the most unfortunate of all, i forgot to buy buko shreds! Very nice. How can it be a buko-pandan pie without the real buko? So i drop the idea.

The next day, while i was walking home along Humay-humay street, a bahay-kubo near our house (which i haven't noticed before) sells exactly what i need. A buko. But this time, instead of making a pie I decided to do a buko-pandan float even without a recipe to follow, i know its not that difficult since i'm just making a little twist with the usual float and I'm quite positive that whatever fruits and flavors you mix with your cream it'll still taste good.

Dessert of the Day: Buko-Pandan Float

I've been craving for sweets lately that's why i made 2 floats in a row but when it comes to sweet tooth, nothing can beat Ian. =).
