Konnyaku Jelly

If you want to try some simple, healthy and nice dessert, you can try Konnyaku Jelly. Konnyaku is actually the brand of the jelly powder I normally use. Click here if you want to know what does Konnyaku Jelly look like.

Pre-requisite tips for making a more healthy jelly:
1. Use the colorless powder. It's always healthier choice to use the colorless rather than red, green, yellow color type of powder. With the colorless, it's always nicer presentation to fill in some cut fruits in the jelly.
2. Use jelly powder, instead of agar-agar. Jelly powder is more "elastic". Konnyaku brand is the most recommended.
3. Citric acid and liquid color are not really a must. You don't have to use it, if you just want a simple dessert.


What do you need:
- 1 sachet of Konnyaku jelly
- 950 ml water
- 200-250 grams of sugar
- cut fruits of your choice (My hubby and I prefer nata de coco)
- moulds for jelly (normally one sachet of jelly can be create 24 pieces of moulded jelly)

How to make the jelly:
1. Mix the powder and sugar together.
2. Pour the mixture into the water gradually, and keep stiring until the water is boiled.
3. Turn off the flame and keep stiring for around 5 min, until the bubble disappears.
4. Put the pieces of the cut fruits in the moulds, and pour the Konnyaku into the moulds.
5. Let it chilled inside the moulds, before refrigerating.


When it's done, take the jelly out of the moulds, and you can serve them like this...
