Soybean Milk Longan Jelly


Yesterday, we had Pot Bless in Church and since I was working on a Friday and have not the time to cook anything elaborate, I decided to make these melt in the mouth jellies the night before for the pot bless…haha smart Momsie :p …light and easy for the old and young. The kids loved them and the older ones simply slurpped them up, and went for second helpings :p but alas due to shortage and not enough for second helpings, they could only licked their lips and wished the smart Momsie had made more for them :p Next time..I promise to make more okay….:))

Of course , needless to say, this Momsie stole one and had a photoshoot session first and ate one before the rest had them..hahaha so bad this Momsie…nope , I had to test them out first before I take them to Church :p in case it turns out too watery…can? It turned out marvelous and not overly sweet to my delight or I will have to get something else for dessert :)

I used the same soybean milk jelly recipe from my previous post, added the tin longan together with the syrupy water and added 1.5 more tsp of agar agar powder. I had to make a few loads in order to make sure that each guest will have at least a cup each :) too bad no second helpings for them :p

I found my garden roses blooming again...thus
took one for deco so that my jelly looks more
photogenic...can? :p

melts in the mouth...smooth ..mmm

can you spot the longan sitting in the center?
with the rose bud sitting on it :)
even the bud could not resist and stole a lick :p


seriously speaking this is the best dessert
for me and my Piggies love them too...
Ouch...sorry babies..juz drool for the time being,
not enough to pass around nor send thru a
FedEx box





***Remember, just add the longan syrupy water
from the tin longan and add 1.5 more teaspoon of
agar agar powder to the original recipe.


Have a great weekend ! :)

  10. What a great idea! I've done this before with other sweet soups but not soya milk. A good one to try this with is red bean soup with santan. However, agar is not as easily available here so I use gelatin which works equally well.

  13. Elin, I like this jelly. It's like eating sweeten tau fu fah without the syrup. Only problem was my jelly was nice and smooth on the top and sides but becomes grainy towards the bottom of the jelly.

    Do you know why?
