Green Banana Roll Ice Dessert (Es Pisang Ijo)

This is a famous dessert originally from Makassar - South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Nice and refreshing - nowhere to be found in Singapore though
Only can use king banana (pisang raja), the kind of banana which not easy to find in Singapore - again luck is on my side, managed to find it and it's a good quality one :)

Saw the recipe at Ricke's site and decided to give this a try
Easy to make the dough, but I really need further practice in shaping them
The end result is not so smooth and cracked a little here and there and I think the green color could be lighter :)
However, the taste is wonderful - especially with the hot humid Singapore weather lately

If you view Ricke's lovely picture, you can see how smooth her green dough is - really need to practise to rolling and shaping them :)

Nice to eat with crushed ice and special syrup - we Indonesian call it "campolay syrup" - originally from Cirebon - West Java, Indonesia

Managed to google the picture - I have a bottle in the fridge but too lazy to take picture of it :P
