Author's Notes

Makes four 4 oz desserts.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Prepare the Coconut Jelly by adding Vanilla Coconut Milk (2 cups), Agar-Agar Powder (as needed), Granulated Sugar (3 Tbsp), and Ground Cardamom (as needed) to a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk well and bring to boil. The mixture needs to reach 185 degrees F (85 degrees C) for the agar agar to dissolve and work.
step 2
Pour the mixture into your containers evenly. Place in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.
step 3
Meanwhile, make the Citrus Jelly. Whisk together 6 Tbsp of Orange Juice (2), 2 Tbsp of Lemon Juice (1), Agar-Agar Powder (as needed), and Granulated Sugar (1 tsp) in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil while whisking.
step 4
Pour a thin layer of the citrus mixture over the set coconut jelly. Place in the fridge to set.
step 5
Prepare the Coconut Whipped Cream by whisking Coconut Cream (1 cup), Powdered Confectioners Sugar (4 Tbsp), and Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) in a small bowl until you have soft peaks. Refrigerate when ready to assemble.
step 6
Meanwhile, make the Basil Lime Sugar. In a small bowl, add Granulated Sugar (2 Tbsp), Fresh Basil Leaves (4), and 1 tsp of Lime Zest (1). Use the back of a wooden spoon or a muddler to crush the basil into the sugar and continue pounding the mixture until the basil leaves are super fine and integrated with the sugar.
step 7
When ready to serve, pipe or spoon the coconut whipped cream onto the top of each jelly.
step 8
Sprinkle the dessert with 1/2 Tbsp of basil lime sugar, and garnish with Mandarin Slices (to taste) and Edible Flowers (to taste). Enjoy!
