    I love a good fruit and jelly cake! They're beautiful, fun to eat and I never feel heavy after having one. In case you're wondering if they're hard to make, not at all!

    I do recommend that you read some of my tips on how to make a good agar fruit jelly cake. I share them all below.

    For my fruit jelly cake recipe, you'll need 3 of your favourite fruits diced up if they are not small enough, water, juice, agar agar powder, maple syrup and coconut milk!

    When people see this fruit jelly cake with agar agar they think it's hard AF to make lol but I TELL YOU IT'S NOT! It's legit like making jello and adding in some fruit. Seriously and if you can't make jello then I'm sorry I can't help you there lol.

    How to Make Fruit Jelly Cake at Home

    But since this is recipe blog, I figured I'd share some pointers on making jellies so you don't waste your time and toss the whole thing out because the layers are perfect! Even if they aren't, totally worth eating because #nofoodwaste please.

    tips for making agar jelly fruit cake recipe

    • Always whisk your agar agar powder into the liquid before you heat it. This allows for the agar agar powder to mix in with the ingredients well to prevent any clumps.
    • Use a whisk! This ensure even distribution of your liquids. A fork does not cut it.
    • Make sure to monitor your jelly liquid and do not over boil. Once it hits a boil, lower it to a very low simmer. Keep your jelly liquid over low heat before pouring into the mold. This ensures your jelly stays as a liquid. If you remove it off the heat source, it will solidify very quickly.
    • Once your slowly and carefully pour your first layer of jelly into the mold and freeze it to firm the layer faster!

    Thanks to Hot Thai Kitchen for inspiring me to make this Fruit Jelly Cake. You all need to follow her for all wonderful jelly recipes. In fact, she was the one who inspired me to start experimenting with agar agar powder!

      I love these! They're so aesthetic and I was worried about sugars. But then I looked and saw you used maple syrup yay! (Canadian maple syrup is so good!)

      A delicious dessert but you forgot to mention in the written revipe that we have to boil the coconut milk mixture! I just watched the video now... So I've ended up with that coconut layer not set properly but it's still tasty!

      Does the container have to be glass?

        I would recommend anything that is heatproof since you're pouring hot liquid into it. Ceramic or a steel one will work. I would advise not using plastic.
