My Mind Patch: Heart & Stars Coconut Agar Agar Jelly

Heart & Stars Coconut Agar Agar Jelly

Created 4 bottles of agar agar jellies with pastel colour coconut jellies in them. Just to have fun making some fancy jellies for my family. I don't usually use food dye in my food, so the colour was not ideal 😅 Just eat, don't look 😆

Yield: 4 x 200ml pudding bottles of low sugar, low fat, soft agar agar jelly

2. Bring soaked agar agar strips, pandan leaf and water into a boil at medium-low heat. Add sugar and salt to the agar agar water. Ready when all the agar agar strips and sugar has dissolved.

3. Add 100g of trim coconut milk to the agar agar water and bring to a light boil.

4. Split the coconut-agar agar water into 3 portions. Mix two portions with red and green food dyes in two separate bowls.

Divide the remaining coconut-agar agar water among 4 pudding bottles. Set aside to cool down and solidify.

5. Use a heart shape cutter to cut out 4 hearts from the pink coconut jelly bowl. And use a star cutter to cut out 8 stars from the green coconut jelly bowl. Place one pink heart and 2 green stars coconut jellies into each pudding bottles. Set aside.
