Delicious recipe. I use calamansi juice. Very light and refreshing
Hi, so happy to hear that! This dessert is good for hot weather 🙂
Hi Ann, do i use the 10g pack of konnyaku powder? Cant wait to make it, thanks!
Hi Selene, Yes is the 10g konnyaku powder that I bought from Phoon Huat.
Hi Ann, can I use the Konnyaku Premix from Phoon Huat? If yes, how do I adjust the recipe? Thanks.
Hi Sherry, I’m using PH konnyaku powder (pic above). Is this the one you’re referring?
Sorry that I’ve never used PH konyaku premix before.
Hi Ann, are these jellies chewy? I want the chewy type. Thanks!
Hi we do not have konnyaku powder in my country, what can I use instead?
Hi Rosario, you can use 1000cc water with 20 grams gelatine powder in this recipe. As gelatin is softer, you may make this jelly in serving cups,
Hi Ann,
I made these few days ago, very refreshing, my family loved it! I had some pomelo in my fridge, so I added in, really nice & easy to make. I made double recipe, all gone within 2 days. Thanks!
Hi Mez, Happy to hear you and your family enjoyed this dessert. Great to add pomelo in the jelly and you can also add aloe vera in it too.
Sorry Ann, another question. If I were to increase to 45pcs, how much water and reserved lychee syrup in total? Your original recipe of 15pcs, reserved lychee syrup + water = 950ml. Thanks!
Hi Ai Li, My mould is taller that only made 15 pieces jelly. You can use the normal konnyaku jelly mould. One recipe 24 pieces.
I totally adore the aroma of lemon grass. This jelly sounds and looks just beautiful and delicious paired with lychee. Good job, Ann.
Thanks for the recipes. Have tried and my family loves it. It is refreshing n cooling, perfect for this hot weather
