Pineapple & Coconut Jelly - Real Recipes from Mums

A light and sweet dessert.

Ingredients (serves 4)

1 packet Pineapple flavored jelly crystals
200ml Coconut milk
Canned pineapple pieces
Toasted coconut pieces

Method

Make jelly by adding 250ml boiling water to the jelly crystals and stir to completely dissolve.
Leave the jelly for approximately 1 hour until it starts to thicken but not set
Slowly whisk in the coconut milk and then pour into serving dishes, or like I did, a shallow glass baking dish
Serve topped with tinned or fresh pineapple and coconut pieces.

Notes

I carefully cut my jelly into individual squares and serve that way, but it also looks great in small cups or dishes. You can alter this to an adult only dessert by adding only 150ml coconut milk and 50ml of Malibu white rum, then letting set as per the normal method. Eat within 2 days and don’t put fresh pineapple into the jelly or it won’t set!

When you’re a vegetarian you can use agar agar Instead of jelly crystals.
