Rinse the water chestnuts and remove all the fruits from the can, dumping out the syrup.

Cut the water chestnuts into smaller pieces, halving them and then cutting into six pieces.

Add green food coloring to half of the water chestnuts and red food coloring to the other half, using about a quarter of a teaspoon for green and a few drops for red.

Boil water in a pot and add half a cup of tapioca flour to the boiling water.

Add the green water chestnuts to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes until they float, indicating they are done.

Prepare a bowl of water to place the cooked green water chestnuts to prevent sticking.

Remove the green water chestnuts and add the red ones to the boiling water, cooking until they float, then place them in the bowl of water.

Make a sugar syrup by melting palm sugar with pandan leaves and a pinch of salt in a pot until fragrant, then let it cool.

In another pot, heat coconut cream with sugar and salt until it starts to boil, then turn off the heat.

Assemble the dessert by layering young shredded coconut, fruits, red and green tapioca water chestnuts, and pouring the sugar syrup and coconut cream over the top.
