Preparing the gelatin: Start by preparing the gelatin. Place it in a small bowl and pour in 50 ml of cold water. Let it swell for a few minutes.
Melt the chocolate: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk and cream until they begin to boil gently. Then remove from the heat and add the crushed milk chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and forms a smooth mass.
Add the gelatin: Once the chocolate is completely melted, return to the swollen gelatin. Heat it in the microwave or over low heat until melted, then add it to the chocolate mixture. Mix well until the ingredients are combined.
Sweetener and flavoring: If you want to sweeten the dessert for a little more, add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches a uniform consistency.
Cooling: Pour the finished mixture into a mold or cups. Refrigerate for a few hours (preferably overnight) to allow the jelly to set.
Topping: Before serving, sprinkle the jelly with shredded coconut or add other favorite toppings such as fresh fruit or chocolate flakes to add even more charm to the dessert.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving Size: Jelly is best served fresh, straight from the refrigerator. You can serve it in elegant cups, mugs, or simple molds. It pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or as a light after-dinner dessert.
Storage: Store the finished jelly in a covered container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. For best results, it is recommended to consume it within 1-2 days of preparation.
Variations:
White Chocolate Jelly: Instead of milk chocolate, use white chocolate for a milder flavor that pairs perfectly with coconut milk.
With added fruit: Add pieces of fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, or mango to the jelly to give it an even more exotic feel.
Vegetarian version: If you want to make a vegetarian version, use agar-agar instead of gelatin. Agar-agar is a plant-based alternative that produces a similar concentrated effect.
Layered jelly: You can create a striking layered jelly by combining chocolate jelly with fruit jelly, for example. This will make the dessert even more spectacular.
