Coral Jelly - a simple yet visually stunning treat that resembles a piece of coral from the ocean. This variation includes eggs but is not fishy at all. In fact, it is refreshing, chewy, crunchy, and has a delightful pandan fragrance. Let’s explore how to make this enticing dish!

Ingredients:

• 10g agar-agar powder
• 800ml water
• 150ml coconut milk
• 40g pandan leaves
• 150g sugar
• 2 eggs
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon white wine

Instructions:

• Step 1: Clean and cut pandan leaves into small pieces. Blend them with 800ml water in a blender, then strain the mixture 2-3 times to remove any solids. Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat them with ¼ teaspoon of white wine to remove the odor, and strain through a fine mesh sieve.
• Step 2: Combine the pandan juice, coconut milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and agar-agar powder in a pot. Stir the mixture well and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Step 3: As the liquid starts to boil, the eggs will float to the surface and form solid clumps. Lower the heat and avoid stirring too vigorously to prevent breaking the eggs. Let the mixture simmer for a few more minutes.
• Step 4: Turn off the heat, allow it to cool slightly, then pour the mixture into a mold. Once the jelly has cooled, place it in the fridge for 2 hours to set. After 2 hours, remove the jelly from the mold, cut it into pieces, and enjoy.

Cheese Coffee Jelly combines the creamy richness of cheese with the deep, slightly bitter flavor of coffee, creating a delicious and unique dessert that you can eat endlessly without getting bored. The jelly is layered beautifully, making it not only tasty but also visually striking. This dessert is a popular choice for many people.

Ingredients:

• A pack of jelly agar-agar powder
• 1.3 liters of water
• 200g sugar (adjust according to taste)
• 120ml instant coffee
• 100g Laughing Cow cheese
• 100g whipping cream (optional, for a richer flan texture)
• 200ml unsweetened milk
• 90g sweetened condensed milk
• 5 egg yolks
• A mold for setting the jelly, can be a flat food container or a creatively shaped mold

Instructions:

• Step 1: Mix the agar-agar powder with sugar and dissolve it in water. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to allow the agar to bloom. Then, bring it to a boil, stirring continuously to prevent it from sticking or clumping.
• Step 2: Whisk the egg yolks separately. In another pot, combine the cheese, milk, whipping cream, and condensed milk, and cook over medium heat until the cheese is fully melted. Gradually add the egg yolks and stir constantly to prevent clumping. Strain the mixture to ensure a smooth consistency.
• Step 3: After cooking the agar-agar mixture in step 1, divide it in half. Add instant coffee to one half to make the coffee jelly. Add the strained flan mixture from step 2 to the other half to make the flan jelly. Keep both mixtures warm over the lowest heat.
• Step 4: Start layering the jelly in the mold, beginning with the coffee jelly, about 1cm thick. Once it has cooled to a slightly warm touch, pour the hot flan jelly on top, also 1cm thick. Continue layering until all the mixtures are used. For even layers, use a spoon to measure.
• Step 5: Let the jelly cool down before refrigerating. The jelly will taste best when served cold.

Red beans are a nutritious ingredient packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins that offer multiple health and beauty benefits. The nutrients in red beans help improve overall health, especially when consumed regularly. In addition, red beans and red bean powder can assist with weight loss, stabilize blood sugar, and reduce the risk of certain cancers.

• Sugar to taste

Instructions:

• Step 1: Rinse the red beans thoroughly and soak them in water for about half a day.
• Step 2: Place the soaked beans in a pot and cover them with water. You can add a bit more water, as the beans will expand while cooking. Boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat, adding more water as needed to avoid burning. When the beans are nearly soft, turn off the heat and let them sit covered to soften fully.
• Step 3: Once cooked, remove the beans from the pot, add one tablespoon of sugar, and stir. You can leave a few beans in the cooking water for added texture in the jelly.
• Step 4: Add two tablespoons of sugar to the remaining water with the beans and bring it back to a boil.
• Step 5: Dissolve one pack of agar-agar powder in a small amount of cold water, then pour it into the pot with the sweetened red bean water. Stir well, then turn off the heat. Adjust the amount of water if necessary, based on the instructions on the agar-agar packet. Let it cool, then refrigerate to set.
• Step 6: Repeat the same process with the condensed milk, sugar, hot water, and the second pack of agar-agar powder to make the milk jelly. Once set, cut the jelly into squares. Combine with the red beans and coconut milk, and enjoy the delicious and creamy treat!

If you prefer not to use coconut milk, you can substitute it with fresh cream. This variation will give the jelly a delightful, smooth texture with a subtle sweetness, perfectly complementing the tender red beans.

Instructions:

• Step 1: Prepare the first layer – papaya jelly
  • Mix the agar-agar and jelly powders with sugar.
  • In a pot, combine papaya juice and milk. Heat gently over low heat. When the mixture starts to simmer, gradually add the agar-sugar mixture while stirring constantly.
