Lime Coconut Jelly with Lychees 荔枝酸柑椰浆果冻
Today I’m sharing this Lime Coconut Jelly with Lychees for those who did not have a chance to get the Living Gourmet Magazine that was published in May 2013. This dessert is very refreshing as lychees pair well with coconut and lime. This recipe has been been tested and tasted by my friends and family before I submitted it for publishing. It has become one of our favourite desserts in my family. You can make this jelly dessert one or two days ahead before serving. Hope you enjoy this dessert as much as we do. Thank you Living Gourmet for giving me an opportunity to feature my recipe.

This sounds refreshing already! I've a party coming up so I'll try this out soon! Can I use any kind of lime?
Janine, I bought the Australian green limes that are larger in size but you can also use the normal green lime.
Hi AnnAlways like your bakes and desserts.. While reading your recipe… Saw that for bottom layer, coconuts milk of 500ml appear twice. Is that a typo error?? Jazzlyne
Hi Jazzlyne, Thank you very much for highlighting to me. Yes, is a typo error 🙂
我好像第一次看到ann放中文食谱哦!嘻嘻!这个甜点很清新,我喜欢。
Eileen, 我不太会写中文食谱啦,我是从杂志上把食谱抄下来的。假如要我写就惨了,我看写一天也写不出几个字。。。哈哈哈!下次等你们来,我就做给你们吃 🙂

Hello Ann! I can imagine that this is a great dish for dessert in hot days! And the photos were beautifully taken! Congratulations again for being published on the Gourmet Living! I made some coconut jellies too last week & will be shared next week!
Hi Jessie, Thank you very much for your compliment. You're also very good in photographing too!Oh you made coconut jellies? I got the premix powder, still haven't do yet because the portion is too big. Will wait until there is a big gathering.
Thanks for sharing this refreshing dessert! I love lychees and I sure would love this.
哇,有coconut又有lychee。。。。我好爱好爱!

Looks incredibly inviting Ann! Hats off to your thinking and creativity
I can imagine this jelly is very refreshing , Big Like !! And Congrats again .
喜欢这酸酸甜甜的甜品~
Hi Ann, how many cups can I make out of this? I need at least 20 or 25 cups. How many times do I need to double this recipe? Thanks!
Hi Ann, update about my agar agar…..a white layer formed on top of the bottom layer and the rest remained light green. This white layer is the coconut and it was firmer than the green sector. Is this supposed to be like this? The top layer was not very firm, is this supposed to be like this? Maybe I didn't stir the bottom layer well before pouring into the cups? But my family liked it. Thanks
Phew! I was concerned because you said must turn white but mine split into shades of green! Thanks for coming to my rescue so fast.
Thanks, Ann!
Hi Ai Li, Yes, the coconut layer is firmer. Next time remember to stir the liquid well before pouring into the cups or you can add a little more gelatine during boiling.. You can also add more lime juice if you wish 🙂
Ann, I have just put them in the bottom layer in the fridge to set. They split into 2 layers, darker and lighter green. Is it correct? Can I still eat them if it is wrong? Thanks!
Hi Ann, I managed to buy the same cup as you have used in this recipe. So I still double it to get 22 cups? Thanks so much for your help!
Hi Ai Li, Depending on the cup size you use. Double the recipes for about 22 cups. This dessert can keep for 3-4 days in the fridge.
Hi Ann, you are so kind….you even thought of a contingent plan for me. Thank you so much! Really appreciate it!
Hi Ai Li, you divide the first layer evenly into cups and let it set first then make the second layer. Is around 22 cups. Remember to stir well the liquid before pouring into cups. Try to make this dessert two days ahead, Just in case not enough so you still got time to make extra.
Ai Li, correct lah. Even wrong still can be eaten because the liquid is already boiled.
Just beautiful! 🙂
Hi Ann,
Thxs for sharing yr lovely dessert creation!
May I know if I can replace gelatine with agar agar powder?
Thxs!
Cheers
Mikki
Hi Mikki,Yes you can replace gelatine with agar powder but the texture is different.Measurement for agar powder is 1packet to 1 litre of water.Ann
congratulations on the featured in the magazine…! a very refreshing taste and flavour for jellies!
Looks so light and so sweet!
Ann, that's a beautiful dessert! Would love to try it and share with my family.
Thanks Ann for sharing this recipe!! Tried it during Christmas and it was very refreshing. Everyone likes the combination.
Wow … beautiful dessert.
Oo…that IS gorgeous!!
Congrats Ann!
Hi Ann,I'm sorry to say I have never had Lychees before. I've often seen them in the store but just never knew what to do with them. I will have to remember this recipe (I'll pin it:) so the next time I see them I will be sure to give them a try. This dessert looks so delightful I would love to give it a try!Thank you so much for sharing, Ann…
I didn't know that Ann. I am going to buy them the next time I go grocery shopping. Thanks!
Hi Louise, you can eat the lychees straight away. You will love them as they are sweet and juicy.
