This dessert is tasty as beautiful it looks. I saw this gorgeous mango agar jelly in hot thai kitchen and I was tempted to make it immediately. I had some agar agar in hand and tried with one mango.

So I went and promptly purchased agar agar from another brand and made this jelly as first thing today morning :). I did alter the recipe to make it more simple and I had this beautiful jelly within an hour. Yes the agar agar set beautifully and quite fast too.

To make mango coconut jelly recipe with agar agar we need very few simple ingredients. Mango pulp, coconut milk, sugar, agar agar. Just 4 ingredient plus some water and lemon juice is all you need to make this vegan mango jelly recipe. If you are pressed for time go ahead and use store bought mango pulp and coconut milk, but trust me when say freshly made pulp and coconut milk is totally brilliant. Agar agar jelly sets very well in room temperature within 30 minutes. If your jelly refuses to set within an hour then may be the quality of agar agar is not up to the mark or may be the quantity is not sufficient.
