Description
A refreshing coconut jelly dessert topped with fresh fruit.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoon (18 g) gelatin powder
- 1/4 cup (60 g) water
- 2 cup (500 g) young coconut water (3–4 coconuts)
- 3/4 cup (240 g) coconut milk
- 1 1/4 cup (310 g) milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- mint
- mango pieces
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin. In a small bowl, add 1/4 cup of cold water. Then sprinkle the gelatin on top of the water, gently stir and let it absorb the water for about 5 minutes.
- Heat coconut mixture. In a medium saucepan, mix together the coconut water, coconut milk, milk, salt and sugar on medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot and reaches a gentle simmer along the edges. Do not boil!
- Add gelatin. Once the mixture reaches a simmer, turn off the heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Mix until the gelatin dissolves and there are no lumps.
- Sift the mixture. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large mixing bowl. Skim off any bubbles on the surface.
- Assemble and chill. Divide the coconut mixture into small cups or jars of your choice. Chill in the refrigerator uncovered for 1 hour and then cover and refrigerate for 3-4 more hours or until solid.
- Serve. Top with fresh fruit and enjoy!
