Ingredients

  • 1 tsp (4 gr) basil seeds
  • 24 blueberries
  • 1 green kiwi, diced
  • 1 golden kiwi, diced
  • 1/3 red dragon fruit, diced
  • 3 cups (750 ml) coconut water
  • Sugar, if desired
  • 2 1/2 tsp (5 gr) agar powder
  • 3 tsp (9 gr) jelly powder

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, soak basil seeds in water for 15 minutes. Strain the soaked basil seeds. Set aside.
  • Brush the jelly mooncake molds with water. This stops the cooling jelly from sticking to the surface of the mold, allowing the set jelly to slide out smoothly without breaking.
  • Divide the blueberries, kiwis, dragon fruit, and basil seeds between the molds evenly. Don't put too much fruit, or the jelly will not hold together well.
  • In a saucepan, mix coconut water, sugar, agar powder, and jelly powder. Heat the saucepan on medium heat until the mixture boils. Turn off the heat. Remove any foam on top.
  • Carefully divide the jelly mixture between the molds. Mix the fruits gently to spread them out evenly.
  • Cool the jelly completely at room temperature. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • Press the sides of the mold to loosen the edges of the jelly. Flip the mold onto a large plate to release the jelly. Serve chilled.

Notes

If you don’t have jelly powder, you can substitute it with 1 1/2 teaspoons (3 gr) agar powder. Please note that the jelly will have a denser texture and will not be bouncy.
