Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (around 19 oz) canned grass jelly
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup crushed ice
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Drain the canned grass jelly, and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened coconut milk, erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener), and vanilla extract. Whisk until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Add chia seeds to the coconut milk mixture, stirring well. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, giving the chia seeds time to thicken the mixture slightly.
Divide the grass jelly cubes equally into four glasses or bowls.
Pour the coconut milk and chia seed mixture evenly over the grass jelly in each serving vessel.
Top each serving with some crushed ice for a refreshing touch.
Sprinkle shredded unsweetened coconut over the top of each dessert.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb grass jelly dessert!
