Palm Sugar and Coconut Milk Jelly (2)

My first attempt on this failed to have the sugar and coconut milk separated.  Very reluctant to rest the case, so I decided to try again.  Yeah .... can you see the sugar and milk layers?  So never give up so easily ....




Recipe Source: seasaltwithfood

Ingredients:
500ml (2 cups) water
150g Palm Sugar, roughly chopped
1 pkt agar-agar powder (12gm) (original 3 tsp)
1 pandan leaf, tied into a knot
500ml coconut milk (original 300ml)
pinch of sea salt

Method:

  • Place water, sugar, agar-agar powder and pandan leaf in a roomy pan and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer until agar-agar powder completed dissolves.
  • Remove pandan leaf.  Stir in the salt into the coconut milk and pour this into the jelly.  Return the mixture to the boil then immediately remove from the heat.
  • Pour the jelly into a glass dish or jelly mould and leave undisturbed until set.  When cool, chill the jelly in the refrigerator.  The jelly should separate nicely into 2 layers - a clear palm sugar and a coconut layer.
