Ingredients
Method
Prepare Coffee Layer
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine water and agar agar powder. Stir occasionally until the agar agar powder dissolves completely.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Add instant coffee, sugar, and salt, stirring until all ingredients are fully dissolved.
- Turn off the heat and keep the pot covered and warm.
Prepare Coconut Cream Layer
- In a separate medium saucepan over medium heat, add coconut milk, evaporated milk, water, sugar, salt, and agar agar powder.
- Stir until sugar dissolves and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2–3 minutes ensuring agar agar and sugar are fully dissolved.
- Turn off heat and keep warm with lid covered.
Layering
- Pour about one-third of the warm coffee mixture carefully into a glass container or mold.
- Use a toothpick to pop any air bubbles on the surface. Allow it to cool until it is just set and tacky to the touch but not fully solidified.
- Gently pour one-third of the coconut cream mixture over the coffee layer.
- Let the coconut cream mixture cool slightly or transfer it onto a spoon before pouring it slowly over the coffee layer.
- Wait until this layer is set but still tacky.
- Continue layering the coffee mixture and coconut cream mixture alternately until all jelly mixtures are used up, ensuring each layer is just set before adding the next.
- Cover the mold with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours until fully firm.
Serve
- To serve, run a knife gently around the edges, invert the mold onto a serving plate, and slice into bite-sized pieces.
Notes
Keep the jelly covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best texture, enjoy within the first 48 hours.
