Ingredients

• Jelly Layers
  • 2 liters water
  • 16 g agar-agar powder (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 400 g granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Gel food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
  • 1/2 cup fruit juice per color (optional, e.g., orange, pineapple, grape juice)
• Coconut Cream Layer
  • 400 ml coconut milk (full-fat)
  • 4 g agar-agar powder (about 1/2 tablespoon)
  • 40 g granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Jelly Base:

In a large saucepan, combine 2 liters of water and 16 g agar-agar powder. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until agar-agar is fully dissolved. Add 400 g sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract.

2. Divide and Color Jelly:

Evenly divide the hot agar-agar solution into six bowls (keep warm over hot water to prevent setting). Add a few drops of different gel food coloring to each bowl to create a rainbow effect. Optionally, add 1/2 cup of fruit juice per bowl for natural flavor variations.

3. Assemble Layers:

Pour the first colored layer into a rectangular cake pan (about 9x13 inches). Refrigerate for 10–12 minutes, or until just set (surface should not stick when touched). Gently pour the next color layer over the previous one, repeating this step and chilling between layers until all colors are used.

4. Prepare the Coconut Cream:

In a clean saucepan, combine 400 ml coconut milk, 4 g agar-agar powder, 40 g sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and bring to a boil; simmer for 2–3 minutes until agar-agar dissolves.

5. Top with Coconut Cream:

Let the coconut cream cool for 3–5 minutes, then gently pour it over the final set jelly layer. Allow the cake to set completely in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

6. Serve:

To release the cake, gently loosen the edges with a thin knife and invert onto a serving plate. Slice and serve chilled.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To achieve vivid and bold colors, prefer gel food colorings as they provide intense hues without affecting the jelly's texture. Keep the jelly mixture warm while dividing and coloring to ensure layers set evenly. Patience is key between layers to maintain distinct separation without mixing.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Feel free to swap coconut milk with other plant-based milks, adjusting sugar to taste for sweetness balance. For added texture and freshness, diced fruit pieces can be incorporated between jelly layers. Using silicone molds allows creating charming individual portions perfect for parties.
