Avocado Jelly

Here is another way to enjoy avocado. For a healthy dessert topped with different types of fruit like mango dices, strawberries, and grapes. Use can fruit cocktails or Nata De Coco, if desired. For a little special avocado jelly, drizzle with fresh coconut milk and finely chopped gula melaka (palm sugar) or gula melaka sryup.
This is also a special dessert for kid who does not like fruit, just topped with some chocolate cream, if desired.

° 12g agar-agar powder
° 1.5 litre water

  1. Wow, another creation of avocado.
    Do you have like plants? You could try planting avocado using the seeds.
    One of the many seeds I planted actually growed into a plant, but not quite sure why 1 out of the many & I wonder how long it takes to harvest. Cldn't find info on avocado plants while searching the net.
    Cheers

  3. In fact, i just discover that this "avocado jelly" can be an eggless caramel custard :)

    Just add vanilla essense to the recipe, reduce a bit of sugar and pour caramel syrup over the chilli jelly. No caramel syrup, fear not, it goes well with gula melaka syrup. :)

    Cheers
