Instructions

  1. Step 1: Sprinkle 2 tsp gelatin powder over 60 ml cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes until gelatin absorbs the water and swells.
  2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine 400 ml coconut milk, 100 ml heavy cream, and 75 g granulated sugar. Add 5 fresh plumeria flowers and gently warm over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and the mixture is fragrant but not boiling.
  3. Step 3: Remove the saucepan from heat and strain out the plumeria flowers using a fine mesh sieve to infuse the floral aroma.
  4. Step 4: Stir in the bloomed gelatin into the warm coconut mixture until completely dissolved, then add 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix well.
  5. Step 5: Pour the mixture evenly into 4 small serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set firmly.
  6. Step 6: Before serving, sprinkle 2 tbsp toasted coconut flakes on top for added texture and a nutty flavor.
