Ingredients

Gelatin

Coconut Jelly

Toppings

  • mint
  • mango pieces

Instructions

  • Bloom the gelatin. In a small bowl, add 1/4 cup of cold water. Then sprinkle the gelatin on top of the water, gently stir and let it absorb the water for about 5 minutes.
  • Heat coconut mixture. In a medium saucepan, mix together the coconut water, coconut milk, milk, salt and sugar on medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot and reaches a gentle simmer along the edges. Do not boil!
  • Add gelatin. Once the mixture reaches a simmer, turn off the heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Mix until the gelatin dissolves and there are no lumps.
  • Sift the mixture. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large mixing bowl. Skim off any bubbles on the surface.
  • Assemble and chill. Divide the coconut mixture into small cups or jars of your choice. Chill in the refrigerator uncovered for 1 hour and then cover and refrigerate for 3-4 more hours or until solid.
  • Serve. Top with fresh fruit and enjoy!
