How to Make Coconut Milk Chia Jelly: A Step-by-Step Guide

Coconut milk chia jelly, a refreshing and healthy dessert, is easy to make with simple ingredients. Here’s a detailed recipe to guide you.

First, gather your ingredients: 200ml coconut milk, 300ml water, 3 tablespoons chia seeds, 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste), and a pinch of salt. For extra flavor, you can add vanilla extract or mashed fruits like mango.

Start by mixing the chia seeds and water in a bowl. Whisk vigorously for 5 minutes to prevent clumping, then let it sit for 10 minutes until it thickens slightly. In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not boil.

Pour the coconut milk mixture into the chia seed mixture, then add vanilla or fruit if using. Stir well until everything is evenly combined. Pour the mixture into molds or a glass container. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set firmly.

For a colorful twist, layer different flavors—like pandan or strawberry—before chilling. Serve chilled, topped with fresh fruits or nuts for added crunch. This jelly is not only delicious but also packed with omega-3s and fiber, making it a perfect treat for any season!
