Cook the jelly mixture
Mix 10gr of jelly powder with 150gr of white granulated sugar.
Place a pot on the stove, add 1.5 liters of filtered water into the pot, then bring to a boil.
When the water starts boiling, reduce the heat and add the entire mixture of sugar and jelly powder, stir until the sugar and jelly powder are completely dissolved, and continue to heat the mixture until it boils again before turning off the heat.
Tip:
- Do not add jelly powder to stir when the water is not boiling, as it will cause the jelly not to dissolve and clump together.
- When adding jelly powder and sugar to the pot, you should lower the heat; if you stir with high heat, the mixture will boil quickly and easily spill over.
-
Mix the jelly mixture colors
Pour the mixture into 1 large bowl and 2 small cups.
Add 30g of condensed milk into the large bowl and stir well.
In the 2 small cups, add 1/2 teaspoon of bamboo charcoal extract into the first cup and stir well. In the second cup, add 1 – 2 drops of food coloring (blue), and stir well.
Tip: After mixing the colors, always keep the jelly mixture warm to prevent stirring too much, which will cause the jelly to cool and set, making it difficult to pour into molds.
-
Create the pupil
Pour the mixed jelly made with the bamboo charcoal essence onto a round plate, trying to spread the mixture evenly across the plate, then put it in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.
After the bamboo charcoal jelly has set, use a round mold to cut and shape the pupil.
-
Shape the eyeball
To shape the eyeball, first use a syringe to draw about 4ml of the jelly mixture dyed with food coloring into the spherical mold
Add the bamboo charcoal jelly cut into the shape of the pupil into each mold, let the mixture cool for about 1 minute, then fill the mold with the milk jelly. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before use.

Final Product
After being taken out of the mold, you will have eye-shaped jelly pieces that are visually appealing and delicious. When eaten, you can taste the sweet and creamy flavor of milk along with the refreshing taste of the jelly.
