A light, refreshing dessert featuring creamy coconut jelly, sweet lychee, and chewy tapioca pearls, perfect for a playful tropical treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 400 ml (13.5 fl oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1/3 cup (65 g) sugar
  • 1 can lychee or about 20 fresh lychees, peeled and pitted
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) tapioca pearls
  • Water (for soaking and cooking tapioca pearls)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soak the gelatin: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of gelatin powder over 1/4 cup (60 ml) of cold water in a small bowl. Let it bloom for about 5 minutes until it swells and becomes spongy.
  2. Cook the tapioca pearls: Bring 3 cups (720 ml) of water to a boil in a medium pot. Add 1/2 cup (100 g) tapioca pearls, stir gently to prevent sticking, and simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until pearls turn translucent with a slight chew. Stir occasionally. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  3. Prepare coconut jelly base: In a saucepan, combine 400 ml coconut milk and 1/3 cup (65 g) sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
  4. Add gelatin: Remove the coconut milk mixture from heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. If desired, add 1 tablespoon lime juice for a hint of brightness.
  5. Assemble the cups: Place lychee pieces evenly into serving cups. Spoon a layer of cooked tapioca pearls on top or mix them with lychee first for even distribution.
  6. Pour the coconut jelly: Carefully pour the warm coconut jelly mixture over the lychee and tapioca pearls in each cup, filling them up.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the jelly sets firm but still jiggles when moved.
  8. Serve: Garnish with a few extra lychee pieces or a mint leaf for a fresh finish. Enjoy the satisfying squish and sweet tropical flavors!

Notes

Avoid stirring the jelly once poured into cups to keep layers intact. If bubbles form on top, gently skim them off before chilling. Use fresh gelatin powder for best results. Do not boil after adding gelatin to preserve setting power. Rinse tapioca pearls after cooking to prevent stickiness. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for firmer jelly. Agar-agar can be used as a vegetarian substitute but sets firmer and faster.
