Coconut (Santan) Agar Agar Jelly – Blue Pea Flower

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Recently I shared a Pink coloured agar agar jelly recipe. Well this time it’s for the “Boys” – Blue coloured agar agar jelly….haha. This recipe is fairly simple as you only need to make 1 layer of santan and blue pea flower extract in the agar agar mixture. When it is cooling down, the santan will slowly separate and float up, creating 2 layers as can be seen in the photos. Not because I’m a guy, but I think this Blue agar agar jelly looks more impressive than the pink one. What do you think ladies?

To make this cool looking refreshing dessert, click on the video tutorial and print out the recipe below.
