Instructions:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1/4 cup of cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom. This ensures the gelatin granules absorb the water and soften.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and sugar.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not let it boil.
- Once the sugar is dissolved and the coconut milk is warm (but not boiling), remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm coconut milk mixture, stirring continuously until the gelatin completely dissolves. Make sure there are no lumps.
- Stir in the passion fruit pulp into the coconut milk mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 10 minutes. This helps to prevent the ingredients from separating.
- Pour the mixture into serving dishes, molds, or a large shallow dish if you plan to cut it into squares later.
- Transfer the filled dishes to the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 4 hours, or until the jelly is fully set. For best results, leave it to set overnight.
- Once fully set, remove from the fridge.
- If using molds, you might need to dip them in warm water for a few seconds to loosen the jelly before turning it out onto a plate.
- Garnish with extra passion fruit pulp or fresh fruit if desired.
- Your refreshing Coconut Jelly with Passion Fruit is now ready to be enjoyed!

Coconut jelly FAQ:
Coconut Jelly needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to fully set. For the best texture, it’s recommended to leave it to set overnight.
You can use small individual serving dishes, molds, or a large shallow dish to pour the mixture. If using a large dish, ensure it's not too deep for even setting.
You can substitute coconut milk with other non-dairy milks like almond or soy milk, but the flavor and texture may vary. For sugar, alternatives like agave syrup or honey can work, but adjust the quantity to taste.
The Coconut Jelly is properly set when it is firm to the touch and holds its shape when lightly pressed. If it jiggles slightly but feels solid, it’s ready!
Leftover Coconut Jelly can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it tightly sealed to maintain its freshness.
Cooking Tips:
- Use fresh coconut milk for the best flavor. Canned coconut milk works too, but ensure it's well-mixed before using.
- For a smoother texture, you can bloom the gelatin powder in a small amount of cold water before adding to the coconut milk mixture.
- Adjust the sweetness by tasting the mixture before allowing it to set. You can add more or less sugar according to your preference.
- Chill the jelly for at least 4 hours to ensure it sets properly. Overnight chilling is even better for a firmer texture.
- Garnish with extra passion fruit seeds or shredded coconut before serving for a touch of elegance and extra flavor.
