Cooking steps

1

Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin powder over 1/2 cup of the water (from the ingredient list) and let sit for 5 minutes to fully hydrate.
2

Combine coconut milk, whole milk, remaining 1/2 cup water, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Heat over medium-low, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling (~90°C/195°F). Do not let it boil to preserve creaminess.
3

Remove saucepan from heat. Add bloomed gelatin and stir continuously until completely dissolved. Ensure no visible gelatin grains remain.
4

Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup or pitcher to prevent lumps.
5

Carefully pour into serving molds or a tray. Cool at room temperature for 20 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set and the texture is bouncy.
6

To serve, unmold the jelly by running a knife around the edges or cutting into cubes directly. Serve chilled for best flavor.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient that gives coconut jelly its unique flavor and texture?

The key ingredient is coconut milk, which provides a creamy, tropical flavor and contributes to the jelly’s signature silky texture. Combined with gelatin, it sets into a refreshing, bouncy dessert.

Q. What is the most important cooking tip for making smooth coconut jelly?

Heat the coconut milk mixture gently and never let it boil. Boiling can cause separation and a grainy texture. Dissolve gelatin completely off the heat and strain the mixture to guarantee a silky, lump-free jelly.

Q. How do I prevent the coconut jelly from being too firm or too soft?

For the ideal bouncy texture, accurately measure the gelatin and let it fully bloom before using. Not enough gelatin makes it too soft to unmold, while too much creates a rubbery bite. Refrigerating for at least 2 hours also ensures proper set.

Q. How many calories and how much carbohydrate does each serving of this coconut jelly have?

Each serving (110g) of this coconut jelly contains about 165 kcal, 22g of carbohydrates (53% of calories), 2g of protein (5%), and 8g of fat (42%).
