With only 3 ingredients these will be a sure fire HIT in your home for anytime of the day or for a special celebration, they are super simple to prepare and can be made several days in advance too :) We have made these without any added sweetness, because the mandarin is very sweet naturally as well as the coconut water but you can add some honey if you like and of course use any fruit you like :) Very cool being able to give a completely sugar free sweet treat, if you are trying to remove sugar from your lives xoxo

Ingredients

  • 500 mls  of quality coconut water
  • 1 tablespoon powdered grass-fed gelatine
  • 200 grams of mandarins (peeled and pithed into segments - get the kids to help) or fruit of your choice, plus extra for serving

Method

  1. Place 3 tablespoons of the coconut water in a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatine over the surface. Allow the gelatine to soak in to the coconut water for 2 minutes. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer whilst stirring continuously until the gelatine has completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, stir in the remaining coconut water and gelatine mixture, then pour the jelly mixture into six 125 ml cups or jelly moulds to three-quarters full.
  3. Add your mandarin segments.
  4. Chill the jellies for 4 hours, or until set
  5. Remove the jellies from the molds by placing the molds in a bath of hot water for a few seconds (be careful not to submerge in the water), then turn out onto serving plates. Serve with a scattering of fresh mandarin segments.
