Step 1

Brush a rectangular food storage container or a shallow dish with a thin layer of vegetable oil (about ¼ tsp is enough). Set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, add the coconut milk, cornstarch, and sugar, stir well. Optionally add 2 tbsps of freeze dried strawberry powder to the mixture if you want to make strawberry flavor coconut jelly.

Step 3

Set a fine mesh strainer over a nonstick pan, pour the mixture through the strainer, use a spatula to press down on the lumps in the strainer to help dissolve into the liquid.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat while stirring continuously, then reduce the heat to medium low and keep stirring with a spatula for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens. The texture should be a little bit more thicken than Greek yogurt.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the greased container, and let it cool to room temperature. Cover the surface of the coconut jelly with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the surface to prevent a dry skin from forming. Place the container in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or until the coconut jelly is fully set.

Step 6

Once the jelly is set, remove it from the container, cut it into small cubes.

Step 7

Place the shredded coconut into a shallow bowl or plate, take the coconut jelly cubes and roll them gently in the shredded coconut, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Serve chilled.
