Coconut Jelly

[mrs_overall]

I have now tried 3 different internet recipes to make coconut jelly and each one has been a failure. When I put it in the fridge to set it always splits.
Does anyone have a foolproof recipe please?

[tonyav]

Don't put it in the fridge then mrs o.

Morning tony
If I didn't put it in the fridge it would be called a coconut jelly flavoured drink ;-)

what's the setting agent?

[tonyav]

Morning mrs o, would it not set if you just put it in a cool place though mrs o but not the fridge.

[anneasquith]

could you not just make the jelly and sprinkle the coconut on top ?

[mrs_overall]

Morning humber
I use Supercook gelatine strips. They work for every other jelly I make

morning anne
I am after making the lovely white coconut jelly you find in Chinese restaurants for a chinese banquet night I am planning

[mrs_overall]

Mmm, good thinking tony, I might try that

[anneasquith]

oh sounds lovely. are the invites ' in the post ' ?

[humbersloop]

oops, manners morning mrs o,

not as daft as it seems, it should overnight-ish if you leave it in a cool place

[mrs_overall]

anne, they are being posted tomorrow :-)

[humbersloop]

*set

[mrs_overall]

Thanks, I will try that with attempt #4
I am determined to make it!

[humbersloop]

...and then chill them

what recipes have you tried?

[tonyav]

Oi, of course it's a bloody good idea.

[mrs_overall]

tony, pass on my thanks to mrs av ;-)

the recipes are all basically the same - light coconut milk, gelatine & sugar

[tonyav]

Doh.

[humbersloop]

I think it's the initial heat that's probably splitting it actually, try getting the liquid you're adding it to as cool as practically possible
