About this recipe

• Jelly made from kanten
• Use raw fresh fruit
• Easy recipe under 10 minutes
• Use ice cube tray and glass food storage container

📋 Ingredients

Here are the ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).

• Kanten: It's a vegan/vegetarian substitute for gelatin which is made from seaweed. You can substitute it with agar-agar powder or gelatin if you can't find it at a store.
• Corn starch: Adding a little corn starch make your jelly a little more thickening. If you don't have any at home then you can omit it.
• Sugar: I use cane sugar in this recipe, but any sugar is ok.
• Fruits: Pick your favorite fresh fruits. In the recipe, I added strawberries, blueberries, melons and pineapples. You can also use canned fruits, but they include lots of sugar and additives so I don't recommend. Fresh fruits tastes much better.
• Water

🔪Instructions

Let me walk you through how to make it step by step. You can also watch this video.

These are the ones in the ice cube tray that you can pop out with a spoon. You'll love these for your party because they're bite-sized and easy to eat!

This one is in a glass food storage container. Scoop as much as you want with a spoon, serve in a bowl, and enjoy!
