Coconut Agar Jelly Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 cups Water
• 2 tablespoon Agar Agar
• 3 cups Coconut Milk
• 1 cup Coconut Pulp ((removed from the syrup))
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Coconut Extract
• optional: Food Coloring

Instructions

1. 1

   Add water to a large saucepan and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of agar agar. Let the agar agar bloom for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Measure out 3 cups of coconut milk. This is a little less than 2 cans, save the remainder for cooking or a smoothie.

3. 3

   Add sugar, salt, and coconut extract to the coconut milk, stir, and set aside.

4. 4

   Remove coconut pulp from the syrup and slice it into small even pieces. You want to end up with 1 cup of diced coconut pulp.

5. 5

   After 15 minutes, place the saucepan of water and agar agar over medium high heat and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent clumping.

6. 6

   Once it starts boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and continue stirring for 5 more minutes.

7. 7

   Now add the coconut milk mixture and continue stirring over low heat until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.

8. 8

   Add the diced coconut pulp and continue stirring for 2 more minutes. Keep the mixture over low heat until you are ready to pour it into the molds or dish.

9. 9

   If you want to use a different color, reserve some coconut milk in a seperate bowl and add any food coloring of your choice.

    Carefully pour the mixture into molds. It helps to use a cutting board or baking sheet underneath. Or you can pour it into a large glass dish. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the jelly has hardened.

11. 11

    Remove jelly from molds or if using a dish, slice into small squares. Enjoy or keep refrigerated.
