Ingredients

  • 4 cups Coconut water
  • 2 tablespoons Agar-agar powder
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 can Coconut cream
  • 1 teaspoon Pandan extract

Instructions

  1. 1In a saucepan, combine coconut water, agar-agar powder, and sugar. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the agar-agar to dissolve.
  2. 2Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the agar-agar is completely dissolved. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. 3For the first layer, pour half of the mixture into individual molds or a large dish. Let it set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  4. 4While the first layer is setting, prepare the coconut cream layer. In a separate saucepan, heat the coconut cream over low heat. Add the pandan extract, if using, and stir well.
  5. 5Once the first layer is firm, pour the coconut cream mixture over it. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes, or until the second layer is set.
  6. 6Carefully unmold the jelly (if using individual molds) or cut into squares. Serve chilled.
