Product Information

They are also used as children's sweet afternoon snacks or as a healthy breakfast to increase children's protein intake. It was originally conceived as an alternative to nata de piña, another gel-like Filipino dessert produced since the 18th century. This recipe is so simple that beginners can try it, and it is an excellent building block for many vegan dishes. Not to mention it is healthy, naturally vegan and gluten free, so no matter what your guests' dietary needs are, they can enjoy these gorgeous coconut water fruit cubes!

If you're using a hard mold, you can insert a toothpick into the side while holding it upside down over a plate, then push it slightly and it should slide out easily. After indulging in far too many jars of Melo Melo, I had to come up with a paleo, dairy-free version—mainly so I could save some money and reuse all the glass Melo Melo containers littering my kitchen counter. It’s natural to have a little separation at the bottom of each jar once it cools, but you should see only about a half-inch of clear gel at the most.Disclaimer: Although we make every effort to ensure product information is correct and up-to-date, we are not responsible for typos, inaccuracies or mis-information on this site. It’s important to ensure that the jelly is completely cold to prevent the center part from being creamy and sticky. For a hot and crispy variation, you can deep fry your coconut milk jelly, resulting in a texture similar to the popular Cantonese dessert, fried milk.

Coconut jelly is a sweet, tropical, flavoured dessert eaten with dim sum or topped with other sweets or drinks.

Its unique texture and flavor provide a delightful contrast to the other components, enhancing the overall taste experience. Place the shredded coconut into a shallow bowl, take the coconut jelly cubes and roll them gently in the shredded coconut, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Tuk Tuk Method: This pudding is perfect for when you’ve finished your meal, but you’re still hungry for something sweet and fruity! Nata de coco can be consumed on its own, but it can be used as an ingredient as well for fruit salads, halo-halo, coconut cakes, ice creams, soft drinks, bubble tea, and yogurts.

Although Melo Melo sells a number of coconut jelly varieties featuring different fresh fruit purées, I like the single coconut jelly and double coconut jelly best because I can customize them by pairing them with my favorite fruit combinations. If you have successfully substituted agar agar in this recipe, please leave your version in the comments so others can benefit from your experimentation.

It is similar to jelly cubes, but with a firmer texture which makes them a bit soft and chewy to eat. You can even use it to make your very own boba pearls for a light, refreshing take on the popular drink addition. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat while stirring continuously, then reduce the heat to medium low and keep stirring with a spatula for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens.

Coconut water: Obviously, coconut water from a freshly cracked open young coconut is best but I don’t have that readily available to me.

In fact, my mom shared my paleo coconut jelly puddings with some of her friends (all picky Asian moms) and they told her they preferred my version over Melo Melo’s.
