Vegan & Gluten Free Watermelon Jelly#FoodieExtravangaza

This is an exquisite and refreshing Vegan & Gluten Free Watermelon Jelly which is so very easy to prepare. It's a perfect cool dessert which can be served at any time of the day or for parties, especially on a hot summer day. The cinnamon stick in this dessert renders a beautiful taste and aroma to it, would suggest not to add any other extra flavoring. 

I have made this jelly twice in one week, because my hubby loved it. This jelly is also apt to make especially when  you get some tasteless or bland watermelon. 

Serves 2

Ingredients 
300 ml Watermelon juice
3 Tablespoons Level Corn Flour
1/3 Cup Level Granulated Sugar
1 Small Stick Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Level Agar Agar powder 

A Drop of Red color - optional
Mango pieces for garnish

Method

Let’s make watermelon juice first. Cut the watermelon, remove the seeds and put it into a mixer. Mix well until blended. Sieve, measure it and keep aside. 

In a tablespoon of water soak the agar agar powder, keep it aside.

In a sauce pan add the corn flour to  the watermelon juice and mix well until dissolved fully and no lumps remain.  Now add cinnamon stick, sugar, mix well.  Place the sauce pan on medium high flame and bring this mixture to a boil. 

Simmer on a low fire for about 5 to 7  minutes, stirring continuously. Once it starts to thicken,  add the soaked agar agar and stir  it till well,  mix and continue to stir for another  2 minutes. Fish out the  cinnamon stick.

Rinse the moulds and leave them wet (this will help you to un mould the jelly easily). 

Pour the prepared jelly mixture into the moulds and let it cool down. Cling wrap them and keep it in the refrigerator  overnight.

Next day take a wet kitchen napkin and micro it for 30 seconds and wrap it around jelly moulds. 

This way un moulding of jelly becomes much easier. Place it on serving plate upside down and tap a bit.  Ta da they are out.  Now garnish it with mango pieces and a stalk of mint leaf and serve.. yum.. yum.

My hubby and our guest just relished this fabulous dessert.

Mango China Grass Pudding / Mango Agar Agar Pudding

Mango agar agar pudding is a quick and esay to make. Agar agar or china grass beautifully sets the pudding so well that you cut slices and serve to your guest. 

This is a pure vegetarian creamy and luscious no bake dessert. Perfect for the summer since the king of fruit is also in season. You can use any variety mango, here I,have used Alphonso mango, my hubby's favorite. 

Ingredients 

1o Grams Flavourless China Grass Strands
A Liter of Milk
6 - 7 Tablespoons Sugar or as per your taste
2 Medium Mangoes - cut in to big pieces
1 Teaspoon Cardamom powder

Method

In a pan cut china grass into small pieces, soak it in 1/4 cup water . Keep this aside for 15 minutes. 

Now boil milk on medium flame add sugar and cardamom powder mix and stir till the sugar melts and it comes to a boil. Take off flame .

Cook the china grass on medium low flame till it melts. Add this to the boiled milk and stir it well. Strain this mixture into a setting/serving bowl, when it is still little warm add mango pieces. 

Let it come to room temperature cling wrap, keep in refrigerator to chill.

When you want to serve overturn it into a plate.

Turn it to right side.

Slice it and enjoy this creamy and luscious no bake dessert.

My Notes

Since the china grass sets at room temp, it does not require refrigeration for setting.  So, add mango pieces when still warm.
