Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Coconut Milk
- 2 tablespoons Gelatin Powder
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Desiccated Coconut
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, add 1 cup of water and sprinkle the gelatin powder over it. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
In a saucepan set over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, honey, and salt. Stir the mixture gently to dissolve the honey completely.
Once the mixture is warm, but not boiling, add the bloomed gelatin and stir continually until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Divide the mixture evenly among four small bowls, ramekins, or a single large dish if preferred.
Sprinkle desiccated coconut over the top of each portion for added texture and flavor.
Cover the containers with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the jelly is firm and set.
Once set, serve the coconut jelly cold, directly from the fridge. Enjoy your refreshing, Whole30-friendly dessert!
