Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Coconut water
- 200 ml Low-fat coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Agar-agar powder
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Optional: Fresh coconut flakes for garnish
- Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut water and agar-agar powder. Stir well to dissolve the agar-agar completely.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to ensure the agar-agar fully dissolves.
Once boiling, add the low-fat coconut milk and granulated sugar to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture returns to a gentle boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into a square or rectangular dish or mold and allow it to cool slightly at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator.
Chill the coconut jelly in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or until fully set.
Once set, cut the jelly into small squares or desired shapes.
Optional: Serve with fresh coconut flakes and mint leaves for garnish to add extra texture and flavor.
