Begin by preparing the syrup. Combine 50 grams of palm sugar and 100 ml of water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow it to simmer for about 3 minutes to thicken slightly, then remove from heat and cool.
While the syrup is cooling, drain the canned grass jelly and cut it into small cubes, approximately 1 cm in size. Set aside.
Peel the ripe mango and cut it into small cubes. Repeat the same with the kiwis after peeling them. Ensure that the fruit pieces are similar in size to the grass jelly cubes.
In a medium-sized serving bowl, combine the grass jelly cubes, mango, and kiwi. Gently mix them to distribute the fruit evenly throughout the grass jelly.
Pour 400 ml of coconut milk over the fruit and grass jelly mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Add the cooled palm sugar syrup to the mixture, stirring once more to incorporate the sweet syrup evenly.
Before serving, add 2-3 ice cubes to each serving dish to keep the dessert chilled. Garnish with fresh mint leaves on top.
Serve the Dairy-Free Grass Jelly Dessert immediately for a refreshing and delightful treat.
