Coconut Milk Gelatin Dessert Tips
It is important to use the hot juice to dissolve the gelatin before incorporating into the rest of the liquid. If the gelatin is not well dissolved, you will have inconsistencies when the gelatin dessert is chilled.
If you do not want to use gelatin, you can substitute agar agar powder. As long as you are using the powder you can substitute it one for one (eg. 1 tsp gelatin is 1 tsp agar agar powder).
The amount of gelatin you use in the recipe will determine how stiff the final product is. Adding less will make the gelatin more liquid-like while adding more will make it firmer.
Serve this dessert chilled, if it warms up too much, it will become liquid again.
