1. How to make mango coconut jelly

1.1 What you’ll need

Ripe mangoes
600 ml of water
200 ml coconut milk
Agar powder (for firm jelly)
Sugar

1.2 Steps

1.2.1: Prepare the mango

Peel the mango and blend it until smooth. This mango purée gives the jelly its main flavor, so good mangoes make a big difference.
Tip: Choose mangoes that smell sweet and have smooth, bright skin. Avoid fruits that feel too soft or wrinkled.

1.2.2 Cook the mango layer

Put 400 ml of water, 5 g of agar powder, sugar, and the mango purée into a pot. Stir until everything mixes well.
Cook on medium heat for about 10–15 minutes. Keep stirring so the jelly does not settle at the bottom. When the mixture starts to boil, lower the heat, remove the foam, and cook for 1 - 2 more minutes.

1.2.3 Cook the coconut layer

In another pot, mix 200 ml of coconut milk, 100 ml of water, 100 g of sugar, and 3 g of agar powder. Stir well and cook on medium heat for around 10 minutes.
Once it boils, lower the heat and remove the foam. This helps the coconut layer set smoothly later.

1.2.4 Pour into molds

Pour the mango jelly into the mold first and leave it for 10–15 minutes until the top becomes slightly firm. Then gently pour the coconut layer over it.
If you want, you can repeat the layers to make a nicer pattern. Keep both pots on low heat so the mixtures stay warm and don’t harden too fast.
Let everything cool, then chill it in the fridge for 1–2 hours.

You’ll get mango coconut jelly with two clean layers: yellow from the mango and white from the coconut milk. The texture is soft with a little bounce, and each bite gives you a mix of ripe mango sweetness and rich coconut flavor. It tastes best when served cold on a warm day.

2. Mango coconut jelly with coconut jelly cubes

If you want a lighter, more refreshing version, try mixing in some coconut jelly cubes. Reducing the mango layer a little and adding chewy coconut jelly creates a perfectly balanced dessert that is not too sweet or heavy.

A little less mango and a touch of coconut jelly, and you’ve got a perfectly refreshing dessert without being too rich.

Each bite brings together creamy coconut milk, sweet ripe mango, and the fun chew of coconut jelly. It’s tropical, refreshing, and totally addictive!
