Pittaya Coconut Milk Jelly


My mother-in-law gave me a red fleshed pittaya. I thought why not make a pittaya jelly instead? So I did itPittaya, also known as Dragon Fruit. It is rich in Vitamin-C, very healthy!! No colouring added to the jelly as it is all natural colour from the fruit.

Here is the recipe for this jelly.
Ingredients:
1 packet coconut milk powder
2 packet clear jelly powder
2x800ml filtered water
sugar(depends on how sweet you want it to be)
3 pieces screwpine leaves (knotted)
1 pittaya (shredded)

Method:
1. Coconut Milk Jelly: Bring water to boil. Add 1 packet jelly powder, knotted pandan leaves, sugar and cook till it is completely dissolved. Add in coconut milk and stir for a while, turn off heat. Discard pandan leaves. Pour the mixture onto a 2 inch tray. Allow to cool, shredded and put aside.

2. Bring another 800ml water to boil. Add the other packet of jelly powder and a little bit of sugar. Cook till it is fully dissolved. Stir in the shredded coconut jelly and pittaya. Pour the mixture onto the 2 inch tray. Allow to cool before chilling in the fridge.
