Homemade Fruit Jelly: A Refreshing & Healthy Dessert Recipe 🥝🍓🫐

Craving something sweet but want to keep it healthy? These homemade fruit jellies are the perfect solution! They’re fun to make, easy to customize, and a great way to enjoy fresh fruit in a delightful dessert. Plus, they’re perfect to have on hand in the fridge whenever you need a little pick-me-up!

Recipe inspired by: @nm_meiyee

Ingredients:

• 2 cups water
• 6 tsp monkfruit sweetener (or your preferred sweetener)
• 2 tsp agar agar powder
• Fruit of choice (I used kiwi, strawberries & blueberries)

Instructions:

1. Cut your fruit into small cubes and place them in your ice cube mold (or any mold you prefer). Ensure the mold is clean and dry.
2. To a saucepan, add water and monkfruit sweetener. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
3. Add agar agar powder to the boiling mixture and whisk vigorously until the powder completely dissolves. This is crucial to avoid a grainy texture.
4. Simmer the mixture for one minute, stirring occasionally. This helps the agar agar properly set.
5. Turn off the heat. Let the mixture cool slightly for a minute or two to prevent it from melting your fruit.
6. Pour the liquid jelly carefully into the ice cube mold, ensuring each cube is filled. Try to distribute the fruit evenly.
7. Refrigerate the mold for about 3 hours, or until the jelly is completely set. The longer you refrigerate, the firmer the jelly will be.
8. Once set, carefully remove the fruit jellies from the mold and enjoy! ❤️

Tips & Variations:

• Fruit Choices: Experiment with different fruits! Raspberries, grapes, mango, or even citrus fruits like oranges and lemons would be delicious.
• Sweetener: Feel free to adjust the amount of monkfruit sweetener to your liking. You can also use other sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
• Agar Agar: Agar agar is a vegan alternative to gelatin. It’s important to dissolve it completely for a smooth texture.
• Mold Options: Get creative with your molds! You can use ice cube trays, silicone molds, or even small bowls.
• Storage: Store leftover fruit jellies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Let me know if you try them! I’d love to hear what variations you create.
