Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Start by prepping your fruits. Leave smaller ones like blueberries and blackberries whole, while cutting larger fruits like mango and kiwi into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch for easier filling.
- Place the prepared fruits into the molds without overcrowding them to create a colorful mixture within every cube.
Cooking the Jelly Mixture
- In a small pot, combine 2 1/2 cups of coconut water with the agar-agar powder. Stir gently to avoid clumping and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Keep stirring until the agar-agar is completely dissolved, then add in the sugar. Stir again until fully dissolved—this takes just a few minutes!
- Remove from heat and mix in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of coconut water to cool down the mixture to a comfortable temperature.
Setting the Jelly
- Carefully pour the coconut water mixture into the molds until it’s just under the rim to allow for expansion.
- Allow the mixture to cool until it starts to set. Then, refrigerate your molds for at least 2 hours, or until fully firm.
- To release the jelly cubes, turn the mold upside down over a plate and gently push from the bottoms. They should pop out effortlessly!
Serving
- Serve them chilled, either alone or as a fun addition to a tropical fruit platter.
Notes
These jelly cubes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Choose quality ingredients for the best flavor.
