Ingredients

300 g coconut water
10 g gelatin sheets, softened in cold water (for coconut layer)
33-35 green grapes, washed and dried
300 g milk
150 g heavy cream
25 g sugar
10 g gelatin sheets, softened in cold water (for milk layer)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat 300 g coconut water in a saucepan until it starts to gently simmer.
Step 2: Stir in 10 g softened gelatin until it fully dissolves.
Step 3: Place the green grapes evenly into serving cups and pour the coconut mixture over them until halfway full.
Step 4: Refrigerate for 2 hours or until the coconut layer is completely set.
Step 5: In another saucepan, combine 300 g milk, 150 g heavy cream, and 25 g sugar. Heat gently while stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Step 6: Add 10 g softened gelatin and stir until melted and fully incorporated.
Step 7: Remove from heat and allow the milk mixture to cool to room temperature.
Step 8: Once the coconut layer is set, carefully pour the cooled milk mixture on top.

Tips & Variations

Use ripe but firm grapes to avoid bursting during preparation.
For a vegan option, substitute gelatin with agar-agar following the package instructions.
Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to the milk layer for enhanced flavor.

Storage

Store the jelly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat slightly, allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes; avoid microwaving as it may melt the jelly.

FAQs

Can I use grape juice instead of coconut water?

While grape juice can be used, it will change the flavor profile significantly. Coconut water provides a light and subtle base that balances well with the milk layer.

How do I know when the gelatin is fully dissolved?

The gelatin is fully dissolved when the mixture is clear and smooth without any grainy texture. Stir continuously over low heat until it disappears completely, but do not boil.
