Lychee Coconut Jelly (5 ingredients)
Lychee coconut jelly is refreshing, fruity, and perfect for warmer months. It has pureed lychee and chewy coconut gel (nata de coco). Enjoy this easy Asian treat as a post meal dessert or snack!
Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder 1 packet
- ¼ cup water to dissolve gelatin
- 10 canned pitted lychee drained
- 1⅔ cup water
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 9 ounces coconut gel (nata de coco) drained
Instructions
- In a microwavable cup, combine the gelatin powder and ¼ cup water together. Whisk well immediately with a fork, then let sit for about 5 minutes. It'll start to look spongy, absorbing the liquid.
- Place the lychees in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth. (This makes about ⅓ cup of lychee puree)
- In a saucepan, place 1 ⅔ cup water, sugar, and lychee puree. Heat over low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Do not let it boil.
- Microwave the gelatin+water mix (from step 1) at 20 seconds increments until the gelatin has completely dissolved. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler stirring constantly. Do not let the mix boil as it can weaken gelatin's setting power.
- Pour the dissolved gelatin mix into the lychee jelly base in the saucepan. Stir well.
- Split the coconut gel into cups, then pour in the jelly base. Refrigerate for 4 hours or more.
