Coconut Jelly
- 1 cup warm water
- 4 sachets powdered gelatin (just shy of 4 tablespoons)
- 3 cups cream of coconut
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 cups canned pineapple chunks in sweetened juice
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherries with stems
- Begin by blooming the gelatin.
- In a small bowl, add the water and slowly pour in the gelatin powder, stirring well until fully incorporated.
- Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the coconut cream and milk.
- Stir well with a whisk to combine.
- Bring to a simmer then stir in the gelatin mixture.
- Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Spray an 8 by 8-inch nonstick square cake pan with a little nonstick spray (this will help hold down the plastic wrap).
- Line the cake pan with plastic wrap (1 sheet across 1 way and another sheet across the other way, works well), leaving enough overhang so you can pick the jelly up from the pan.
- Give the coconut mixture a final whisk and pour it into the lined pan.
- Allow to cool slightly before putting it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- To serve, remove the jelly from pan using the plastic wrap and invert it onto a cutting board.
- Remove the plastic wrap and discard.
- Using a hot knife cut the jelly into 1 1/2-inch cubes.
- Serve in small bowls with chilled pineapple chunks, pineapple juice and maraschino cherries.
