How to make Coconut Milk Cinnamon Jelly
-
Make coconut milk jelly
First, you mix 40gr of sugar and 4gr of agar powder in a bowl.
Add 250ml of water, 100ml of unsweetened fresh milk, 100ml of coconut milk, and the mixture of agar powder just mixed in a pot, then stir well and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
Tip:
- If you don’t have agar powder, you can substitute it with gelatin. The amount of gelatin to use is about 20 – 30gr to set the jelly.
- If you want the jelly to have more color, you can add a little food coloring.
Next, you place the pot on the stove, turn on high heat, and stir the mixture until it dissolves evenly. When the mixture boils, you reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 more minutes before turning off the stove.
-
Pour into molds
You prepare a mold and pour the jelly mixture in, then let it cool at room temperature for about 2 hours to set.
Tip: If you want the jelly to set faster, you can put it in the refrigerator. -
Soak the cinnamon flower
You put 10g of dried cinnamon flower into a bowl and add about 700ml of boiling water to soak for about 30 – 60 minutes.
After soaking, you strain the cinnamon flower through a sieve to filter out the liquid and discard the residue. Pour that liquid into a pot and add 80g of rock sugar.
Place the pot on the stove, turn on high heat, and stir to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar has dissolved, gradually add 6g of agar powder and stir well. Stir until the liquid boils, then stop, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 5 minutes before turning off the heat. The cinnamon flower jelly is now complete.

Completion
Remove the coconut milk jelly from the mold and use a knife to cut it into bite-sized squares.
Tip: When removing the jelly from the mold, be sure to run the knife slowly to keep the jelly looking nice.Next, take a larger mold and place the jelly cubes in it. Use a ladle to scoop the cinnamon flower jelly into the mold. Be careful to pour it in gently to avoid displacing the jelly cubes. Fill the cinnamon flower jelly until it completely covers the coconut milk jelly cubes.
Finally, place the mold in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to allow the jelly to fully set. Add a little dried cinnamon flower on top for decoration.

Final Product
The completed flower jelly has an eye-catching color, with a layer of yellow on the outside enclosing a layer of white inside. The jelly has a fragrant hint of flower cinnamon and coconut jelly. When eaten, the soft and chewy sensation spreads, making it incredibly delicious and appealing.
