Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Coconut water
- 200 ml Unsweetened coconut milk
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 15 g Gelatin
- 50 ml Cold water
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 5 pieces Fresh mint leaves
- 30 g Fresh coconut slices
Instructions
Start by blooming the gelatin: Place 15g of gelatin in a small saucepan and add 50ml of cold water. Stir gently to combine and let it sit for about 5 minutes to fully absorb the water.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut water, unsweetened coconut milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved completely. Do not let the mixture boil.
Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to low and add the bloomed gelatin to the coconut mixture. Stir constantly until the gelatin is fully melted and incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into serving cups or molds of your choice. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours.
Once set, garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves and coconut slices before serving.
Enjoy your low sodium coconut jelly as a delightful and health-conscious dessert!
