Instructions
- Prepare the Seaweed Base: Place one coral seaweed cube into a heatproof bowl or jug.
- Dissolve: Carefully pour 400ml of hot water over the coral seaweed cube. Stir well with a spoon or whisk until the cube is completely dissolved. Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth jelly.
- Sweeten (Optional): If desired, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of sugar or agave syrup now, adjusting to your preferred sweetness level.
- Add Passion Fruit: Halve the fresh passion fruits and scoop out the pulp into the dissolved seaweed mixture. Stir gently to combine, distributing the seeds evenly.
- Cool & Chill: Allow the mixture to cool down to room temperature. Once cooled, pour the liquid into your desired serving glasses or molds.
- Set: Place the glasses or molds in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the jelly is firm and set.
- Serve: Once firm, your healthy, refreshing vegan passion fruit seaweed jelly is ready to enjoy! Garnish with extra fresh passion fruit pulp if desired.
Variations & Adaptations
This simple recipe is highly versatile. Get creative with these ideas:
- Fruit Extravaganza: Experiment with other fruit purees or juices! Think luscious mango, vibrant berry, or exotic lychee. Simply blend your chosen fruit and stir into the cooled seaweed mixture before chilling.
- Creamy Dream: For a richer, creamier texture, replace 50-100ml of water with a plant milk like coconut milk or oat milk.
- Layered Delight: Create a visually appealing dessert by pouring half the jelly mixture, letting it slightly set, then adding a layer of fresh fruit chunks before pouring the remaining jelly.
- Herbal Infusion: Add a subtle aromatic touch by steeping a few mint leaves or a thin slice of ginger in the hot water with the seaweed cube, removing them before adding the passion fruit.
- Sugar-Free Option: For a completely sugar-free version, simply omit the sugar or agave syrup. The natural sweetness of the passion fruit will still shine through.
