How to Make Coconut Jelly
- In a small bowl, bloom 2 teaspoons of agar agar powder in 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
- In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Gradually whisk in the bloomed agar agar mixture into the boiling water. Stir constantly to prevent lumps.
- Continue to cook and stir for 1 minute, ensuring the agar agar is fully dissolved.
- Add 1/2 cup of sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
- Reduce heat to low, and stir in 1 cup of coconut milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and carefully pour half of the mixture into your serving dish. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until set.
- Pour the remaining mixture over the set layer and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
- Once set, slice and serve chilled. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes (optional).
