How to choose fresh and delicious coconuts
- To make the coconut jelly more delicious and appealing, you should choose to buy young coconuts or medium coconuts with light brown husk.
- Good coconuts have a pure white, thick, and beautiful flesh; when you press it with your fingernail, you will feel the crispness and it shouldn’t be chewy.
- Fresh coconuts are sweet and juicy, the thickest and freshest coconut flesh comes from coconuts that have not been peeled, and when you tap them lightly, you can hear a ringing sound.
Where to buy coconut milk?
- You can easily find it at markets, grocery stores, supermarkets, stores that sell baking ingredients, or on reputable e-commerce sites.
- You can also buy coconut milk at the nearest Bach Hoa XANH supermarket or conveniently purchase it online on the website bachhoaxanh.com.
- Additionally, to feel more assured about the quality, you can make coconut milk yourself at home using dried coconuts, which is very simple following the instructions from TasteVN.
How to prepare Coconut Jelly

Prepare the coconut
For convenience and freshness, you should go to the market to choose mature coconuts or green coconuts with intact shells, then ask the seller to peel off the shell and help you take the flesh.
At home, you just need to use a knife to clean the light brown layer of skin on the flesh. Then, carve a small round hole on the top of the flesh and pour all the coconut water inside into a bowl, obtaining 140ml of fresh coconut water, keeping 2 pieces of coconut flesh to hold the jelly.

Mix jelly mixture
Add 40gr of sugar, 70gr of agar powder, and 140ml of fresh coconut water into a bowl, and stir well.

Poured Mold
Pour 70ml of cooked coconut jelly into 1 coconut, the remaining 70ml of coconut jelly you pour into a bowl along with 30ml of coconut milk.
Stir well to blend the coconut milk and create 70ml of coconut milk jelly. Pour the coconut milk jelly into the remaining coconut shell until full.
Then, store both parts of the coconut in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until the jelly sets.

Completion
After the jelly sets, you will obtain a portion of clear coconut jelly and a portion of white coconut milk jelly. When eating, simply cut these two jelly parts into small bite-sized pieces and enjoy!
