Coconut Mango Jelly/Woon Mamuang (Vegan)
This recipe is definitely a simple and refreshing recipe made with the combination of coconut milk and fresh mango puree. Not only that, this recipe is gelatin free and completely a vegetarian recipe.
To make jelly I used Agar Agar which is a vegetarian substitute of gelatin. Coconut and mango are my favorite fruits but you can create your own recipe with different flavors, fruits or chocolate. You can use any mould or cups to make this jelly.

- Pour the coconut layer over the back of a spoon on to the mango base as if you pour too hard it might break or cause dents in the mango layer.
- Refrigerate for a few hours until cold.

Note
- Agar Agar to liquid ratio – 1 Tsp. to each 1 1/3 Cup liquid or puree.
- Always add Agar to water or any clear liquid first as you will able to see that it is dissolved completely then add flavoring.
- Agar Agar jelly sets very quickly, even at room temperature, so work fast specifically if you are making small ones.
- While making two or more layers the first layer should always set but not too cold and the second layer mixture should be steaming hot while pouring. Otherwise the layers slide off while cutting and serving.
- Make your own combination using colorful fruits, chocolate, cocoa etc.
