Description

This Coconut Milk Jelly is a light, creamy, and naturally sweet dessert made with full-fat coconut milk, honey (or allulose for a keto option), and fresh fruit. It’s perfect for a refreshing, no-bake treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup coconut water, divided
  • 2½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 2½ cups full-fat coconut milk
  • ¼ cup honey (or ⅓ cup liquid allulose for keto)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups sliced fresh fruit (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Pour ¼ cup of the coconut water into a small bowl. Add the gelatin and whisk until well-incorporated. Set aside to let the gelatin bloom and rehydrate.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining coconut water, coconut milk, and honey. Heat over medium, stirring frequently until the honey dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in the hydrated gelatin and vanilla extract, ensuring there are no lumps.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a liquid measuring cup to remove any lumps. Skim off bubbles if needed.
  5. Evenly divide the mixture into six 6-ounce glass jars.
  6. Refrigerate the jars uncovered for 1 hour. Then cover and chill until fully set, about 4 hours.
  7. Top with sliced fresh fruit if desired before serving.
  8. Store in sealed containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for best texture and flavor.
  • Honey provides a light sweetness, but allulose makes this keto-friendly.
  • Make sure gelatin is fully bloomed before adding to hot liquid to prevent clumping.
  • Fresh fruit adds color and flavor but is optional.
