Prepare the ingredients
Use a spoon to scrape the coconut flesh, then peel off the tough brown fibers. Next, wash it clean and cut into thin strands.
Wash 2 pandan leaves thoroughly, drain and then chop them small. Then, blend the pandan leaves with 120ml of boiled water that has cooled down, then strain through a sieve to extract the juice.
Tip: You can strain the pandan juice one more time through a sieve lined with thin cloth to remove any residue! -
Cook the jelly mixture
Put 18g of jelly powder and 1.5 liters of water into a pot, stir well, and let it sit for about 30 – 60 minutes for the jelly to swell.
Next, stir the jelly over medium heat until it boils. Then, add 300g of rock sugar and continue stirring over low heat until the jelly and sugar dissolve. Keep the stove on low heat to keep the mixture warm.
Tip: You can check if the jelly has dissolved by lifting the stirring spoon; if there are no tiny grains stuck to it, it’s ready. -
Make the flan mixture
Add 1 egg yolk, 30gr condensed milk, and 1 tube of vanilla into a bowl and stir well.
Place a new pot on the stove, add 80ml of unsweetened fresh milk and heat until warm. Next, slowly pour the hot milk into the egg bowl while stirring continuously. Finally, strain the mixture through a sieve to remove any residue.
Tip:- You should not boil the milk as high temperatures will cause the milk to spoil and lose its nutrients.
- It is recommended to gradually add the milk to the eggs, not all at once, or the high temperature may easily cook the eggs and cause curdling.
Put the flan pot on the stove and stir on low heat until you see a lot of steam rising and the mixture thickens slightly. At this point, immediately add 80ml of jelly water (hot), pouring and stirring continuously to blend.
Next, pour the flan jelly mixture into a rectangular container with a lid and freeze in the refrigerator. When the flan jelly is set, take it out and cut it into small square pieces.
Tip: Do not use high heat as it will cause the egg mixture to cook and solidify. -
Make the flan jelly layer
While waiting for the flan jelly to set, add 100ml of boiling water to the jelly pot and stir well to compensate for the evaporated water.
Pour 500ml of hot jelly water, 30g of rock sugar, 120ml fresh coconut water, and shredded coconut into a bowl. Stir well until the sugar completely dissolves.
Next, pour this jelly layer into a round mold and then add the flan jelly, letting it sit for about 30 minutes for the jelly to firm up.
-
Make pandan jelly layer
Add 70ml of boiling water into the jelly pot and stir well; this amount of water is to compensate for the evaporation while waiting for the first jelly layer to set.
Next, in a new bowl, add 350ml of hot jelly water, 60ml of pandan juice, 20ml of unsweetened milk, 30ml of coconut milk, and 25gr of condensed milk. Stir well to combine the mixture.
At this point, similarly, slowly pour the pandan water over the surface of the flan jelly layer and wait for the jelly to set.
-
Make cocoa jelly layer
Pour an additional 50ml of boiling water into the jelly pot, stir well, and wait for the second jelly layer to set.
Next, mix 12gr of cocoa powder with 50ml of boiling water.
When the second jelly layer has set, add the remaining 350ml of hot jelly water into a new bowl, the cocoa mixture, 20ml of unsweetened milk, 30ml of coconut milk, and 25gr of condensed milk. Stir well to combine the mixture.
Finally, slowly pour the cocoa mixture over the surface of the second jelly layer, cover tightly, and place it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to set.
-
Final Product
The flan jelly when cut is incredibly eye-catching with 3 layers of colorful jelly. The first layer is sweet and refreshing from fresh coconut water, coconut flesh, and creamy flan. Next is the fragrant pandan leaf layer combined with a slight bitter cocoa taste that is appealing. This crispy and cool snack guarantees that anyone who tastes it will fall in love.

Making Flan
First, soak 10g of jelly powder in 1 liter of filtered water for 30 minutes.
Next, prepare a bowl for 4 eggs and add 2 egg yolks, then whisk until the eggs are well blended. Use a pot to boil 1/2 cup of condensed milk and 700ml of unsweetened fresh milk over low heat for 10 minutes to warm the mixture.
Then, pour the milk mixture into the egg mixture, use a whisk to stir well, and strain the egg milk mixture through a sieve to remove the egg whites.
Continue with the sugar part of the flan, use a pan to cook a mixture of 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water until the sugar dissolves and turns a caramel color, then add a little lemon juice and shake the pan before turning off the heat.
-
Steaming the flan
You prepare the flan containers and add the sugar and egg-milk mixture into the containers. Meanwhile, prepare a steaming pot and cook until the water boils, then place the flan containers in to steam for about 30 minutes.
-
Making jelly
You put 1 cup of sugar into the pot of jelly powder that you soaked earlier and stir well until the sugar dissolves, then put it on the stove to cook on low heat for about 15 minutes and divide it into 2 equal parts.
You can choose the flavor of the jelly according to your preference; for this dish, I will use pandan leaf color and coconut milk. You pour the pandan leaf water and coconut milk into the 2 parts of jelly powder prepared.
Next, after the flan has been steamed and is cooked, you take it out and pour the first layer, which is the pandan jelly. At this point, you use a toothpick to poke into the surface of the flan so that the layers do not separate, then wait about 5 – 10 minutes for the jelly to set before adding the coconut milk jelly on top. You keep doing the same with the other flan parts.
-
Final Product
The layer of flan jelly looks very eye-catching, with a creamy soft jelly layer. The jelly part is crispy, chewy, and fragrant with pandan leaves and coconut milk. This is a simple and easy-to-make dish; you can prepare it as a dessert for your family.
How to choose fresh and quality eggs
- Eggshell: Choose eggs with a thin white powdery layer on the outside; when touched, they feel rough or heavy, indicating they are fresh. If the eggshell is smooth, shiny, or has cracks, it means the eggs have been stored for a long time and are not fresh.
- Shake gently: Hold the egg up to your ear and shake it gently; if you hear a sound, the egg is old and has been stored for a long time. If you don’t hear anything but feel strong movement, the egg is bad and may be in the process of hatching,…
- Do not buy if you see any signs of cracked shells, as bacteria can easily enter, or if there are signs of white mold.
What is agar powder? Where to buy agar powder?
- Agar powder is made from natural ingredients such as seaweed, apples, or other types of plants. Currently, there are 2 types: soft agar powder and hard agar powder. Each type of agar powder consists of different main components, but ultimately they still originate from nature.
- Agar powder is the main ingredient that contributes to the success of jelly dishes. It helps bind the ingredients together, creating a very unique and appealing texture for the jelly.
- Agar powder can be easily found at supermarkets, grocery stores, and Bách Hóa XANH stores nationwide, or purchased online at the website bachhoaxanh.com.
- When buying, remember to pay attention to the expiration date and ensure the packaging is intact!
Tips for pouring jelly without separation and clumping
- To prevent the powder from clumping and to make the finished jelly crisper and tastier, you should mix the jelly powder with sugar first, then stir this mixture with water.
- When adding the powder mixture to the cooking pot, stir continuously to help the powder dissolve quickly and evenly.
- For multi-layered jelly, you should wait for the first layer to form a skin and slightly harden on the surface before adding the second layer on top. Avoid adding the second layer while the first layer is still loose, as they will quickly mix together.
- Alternatively, if the jelly layer has completely set, you can use a toothpick to poke holes evenly on the surface before pouring the next layer in.
Tips for storing jelly
- You should cover the jelly tightly and store it in the refrigerator for 3 – 5 days.
- Do not store the jelly at room temperature as it can spoil easily.
