Ingredients

  • 1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk divided
  • 2 ½ teaspoon gelatin powder
  • 40 g yellow rock sugar or to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Remove about 40ml coconut milk and sprinkle gelatin powder evenly over the top. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom the gelatin powder.
  2. Combine remaining 360ml coconut milk and rock sugar into a small saucepan.
  3. Turn the heat onto medium-low, whisking while the coconut milk mixture gently heats up, but taking care not to boil the mixture.
  4. Add the gelatin-coconut milk mixture into the heated coconut milk and continue whisking to dissolve the gelatin.
  5. Once the gelatin and sugar have dissolved, remove from heat.
  6. Pour the mixture into a glass container.
  7. Tip: to prevent the coconut fat from separating from the coconut water, give the mixture a stir every few minutes while it is cooling. If you like the 2-layer jelly, you can skip this step.
  8. Once it is almost set, chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. To release, warm the container's exterior with a little hot water (let it sit for about 5 minutes).
  10. Run a thin sharp knife over the edges to release the jelly.
  11. Cut and serve as desired.
