One recipe caught my attention straight away. It looks simple, refreshing and perfect for dessert. We were having friends over for lunch and this just seem to be a good one to finish a meal off with. Not too heavy but certainly appealing.
Evan and I agreed that the names of some Donna Hay dishes can be misleading- This one has Coconut in it but really.. it's just coconut milk!
The only thing I did differently was to cut up some lychee bits and added it to the jelly. What I really do like about this is that the layers separate by itself- making it looks visually appealing. Don't be surprise if you pour the mixture together and it looks mixed up-when it is in the fridge, those wondrous things called gravity and chemistry helps it to separate.
Coconut and Lychee Jelly
2 cups of Lychee Juice 3 tsp of powdered gelatine
4-5 lychee chopped
1/2 cup of caster sugar
1 cup of coconut milk
Place 1/4 cup of lychee juice in a bowl. Sprinkle over gelatine. Rest for 5 mins.
Place sugar, coconut milk and remaining lychee juice into saucepan and simmer till sugar is dissolved. Bring to boil for around 1 min. Remove from heat. Add the softened gelatine/lychee mixture and stir. Pour jelly into 9 inch dish and fridge it till it sets. Turn out and cut to serve.
Serve it with remaining lychees.

I love Donna Hay, especially the pictures. Usually just browse thru them in the book shop ;-)
The jelly is really refreshing. Best to take in hot days like now in Malaysia.
I love coconut milk in jelly! The thick white layer is really sinful and yummy.
This recipe looks great, think I'll be making it soon when it gets warmer here :)
looks really nice! I love the tropical flavours of coconut (milk) and lychee. coincidentally, I just posted about jelly too ^^
Hey, you just made some jelly, too! It's a really guilt-free treat to have to drive the heat away on hot, hot days ... exactly what we're having here in Malaysia and Singapore!
Coconut & lychee sound like a wonderful combo! Never quite thought of that ... Must be delish and refreshing.
