What is Gelatine? 

Gelatine is a protein derived from animal skin, tendons, ligaments, or bones.  It is usually comes from pigs, such as pig skin. Once the pig skins are boiled to a liquid, filter the liquid multiple times until it becomes clear. Then crystallize it into a powder format, which is called gelatine. It can also be made from cows, or other animals.

Tips for Coconut Milk Jelly:

• Mix the gelatine slowly, and it will resolve in the liquid. Be patient.
• Try to avoid boil the liquid mixture too long, gelatine does not work well in high heat.
• Spray a layer of oil on the glass container before pour the liquid in, it would be much easier to remove the jelly out of the pan.
• Use a knife to cut four edges of the jelly before take it out. Allow a little bit air goes to the bottom the the glass pan, then the jelly will slide out.
• Chill over night for the best result.
