When you eat in a Chinese restaurant, most of the time you are offered Almond Jelly with either Lychees or Fruit Cocktail. Common as it may seem, it is also a very easy dessert to do and involves just making the jelly and opening a can of Lychee or Fruit Cocktail. To make it a bit upscale, I add nata de coco and water chestnuts, to give it another texture and dimension.
Fruit Cocktail with Almond Jelly
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading...A refreshingly cool dessert of fruit cocktail and almond jelly. For this recipe I added nata de coco and water chestnuts.
Ingredients
- 1 package almond jelly - I use the one made in Thailand
- 1 large can of fruit cocktail
- 1 small bottle of nata de coco
- ½ can of water chestnuts - slice into 4 pieces
Instructions
Follow the procedure in the packet of almond jelly; it usually says add water and simmer till the mixture is dissolved.
Place in a pan, 8 inches by 8 inches, to cool and then refrigerate.
Cut into ½-inch cubes.
Place in a salad bowl.
Pour in the fruit cocktail, fruits and syrup.
Open the nata de coco; give it a quick rinse and drain. Add to the fruit cocktail; add the jelly and carefully mix.
Add the sliced water chestnuts.
Chill and serve.
