The recipe comes together effortlessly with just 10 minutes of prep time, utilizing gelatin to create that signature wobbly texture.

Ideal for a refreshing finish to any meal, this keto-friendly coconut jelly can be served as it is or garnished with fresh fruit or mint for an extra touch of elegance.
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder and 50 ml of coconut water. Stir gently and let it sit to bloom for about 5 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining coconut water and coconut milk. Add in the stevia or monk fruit sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Add the bloomed gelatin into the coconut mixture. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Once the gelatin is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Pour the mixture into individual serving molds or a large serving dish. Allow it to cool slightly before covering with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the jelly for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, remove from the fridge and serve the jelly cold, optionally garnished with fresh mint leaves or slices of fruit.
