Ingredients
- 1 can (400ml) reduced-fat coconut milk
- 1 sachet sugar-free raspberry jelly
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons virtually fat-free fromage frais, plus extra to serve
- Fresh mint leaves, to decorate
Instructions
- Heat the coconut milk. Pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan and heat until just boiling.
- Prepare the jelly. Place the sugar-free jelly crystals in a mixing bowl. Add the lime zest and juice.
- Dissolve. Pour the hot coconut milk over the jelly, whisking well with a hand whisk until fully dissolved.
- Add the fromage frais. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the fromage frais until smooth.
- Pour and chill. Transfer to a jug and pour into four individual glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until fully set.
- Decorate and serve. Just before serving, decorate each glass with fresh mint leaves and a small blob of fromage frais.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve in clear glasses to show off the layers
- Top with a few fresh raspberries for extra color and flavor
- Pair with a light biscuit for a bit of crunch
- Offer as a light, make-ahead dessert for a dinner party
- Serve chilled straight from the refrigerator
Tips and Variations
- Any sugar-free fruit jelly flavor works well here. Strawberry or orange are both excellent alternatives to raspberry.
- Whisk the hot coconut milk into the jelly crystals thoroughly to ensure they dissolve completely with no gritty texture.
- The lime zest and juice cut through the richness of the coconut milk and keep the flavor bright rather than heavy.
- This dessert can be made a full day ahead, making it convenient for entertaining.
- Reduced-fat coconut milk keeps the calorie count reasonable while still delivering good tropical flavor.
Why This Recipe Works
Using coconut milk in place of water to dissolve the jelly crystals is the simple swap that transforms an ordinary sugar-free jelly into something genuinely special, adding richness and a distinct tropical character. Fromage frais folded in once the mixture has cooled slightly gives the finished dessert a lighter, creamier texture than jelly alone, closer to a mousse than a firm set jelly. Fresh lime keeps the whole thing tasting bright rather than one-dimensionally sweet.
Storage
Store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days. Not suitable for freezing.
