It's Snowing Jelly! |
Today I made a snappy quick treat. I am a fan of chewy-jelly-sweet--things. In Vegan Land using cow bone (gelatin) is a big no-no, therefore,we have out vegan saviour, agar-agar or China Grass as we know it locally. You need a stove, a pot, and glass dish for it to set and your jelly treats are good to go!
So how to make this crowed pleaser?
All you need is a bunch of white stuff. |
What You Need
1 cup pure coconut milk
2.5 cups water
1/2 cup of sugar (or 3/4th if you want it super sweet)
A pinch of salt
1/4th cup agar-agar (china grass) powder/flakes
1/4th cup dried coconut powder (optional)
How to Make
Grab a pot and se that baby on a stove. Keep your flame medium-high. Now add your coconut milk and china grass/agar-agar and give it a quick stir, it will get thick fast. Quickly add sugar and mix, then add you water and salt. Now keep stirring out the lumps and make sure it gets smooth. It will get thick pretty quick, keep stirring for 5-8 minutes.
Stir out all the lumpies |
Put off the flame and pour immediately into a glass dish. Set on the counter, it will start to set in a matter of minutes. Add your dried coconut powder on top. Check on it after 30 minutes, if it's firm (it should be), pop it out of the glass onto a plate. Slice it in shapes you fancy. Put those babies in the fridge and let them chill.
All Set |
Take them out after 30-60 minutes and enjoy! Makes for the perfect light dessert. Also great for Netflix binging.
Happy Jellying!
