Prep Time3 minutes
Cook Time7 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Course: Appetizer
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • The Fruit Base: 1 cup 100% Pure Fruit Juice Strawberry, Orange, or Black Grape recommended.
  • The Natural Sweetener: 2 tsp Honey or Maple Syrup for a vegan version.
  • The Thickener: 3 tsp Cornstarch Corn flour.
  • The Coating: 2 tbsp Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut Coconut powder.

Instructions

  • The Cold Slurry: In a small, unheated saucepan, whisk together the fruit juice, honey, and cornstarch.
  • Note: Ensure the cornstarch is completely dissolved in the cold juice before turning on the heat to prevent lumps.
  • The Thicken & Stir: Turn the stove to medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously using a whisk or spatula.
  • The Glossy Finish: As the mixture begins to simmer and thicken, lower the heat. Continue stirring for a total of 5–7 minutes until the liquid becomes translucent, glossy, and very thick.
  • The Pour: Immediately transfer the hot mixture into a small glass container or silicone molds.
  • The Set: Allow it to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for 1 hour to achieve maximum "jiggle."
  • The Finish: Gently demold the jelly. Slice into even cubes and roll each piece in desiccated coconut until fully coated.
  • Serve: Enjoy immediately as a refreshing, chilled snack!
