Spring time today, gone tomorrow

It was such a nice day yesterday here in NY... so very spring-like actually breaking into summer. high 70s!

Then today came - all rainy and chilly... the weather needs to make up its mind. I guess you really do need to enjoy the weather when it comes because tomorrow will be a different story.

Easy Summer Lychee Dessert

I was a little bored this past weekend and was looking for something to do. Just on a whim, I decided to make some type of dessert with lychee, just coz I was craving for some lychee. 

I just created this myself so I don't know if this is called something already, but as far as I know this is not called anything yet and so I don't have a name for this dessert yet - maybe "Lychee-Coconut tandem" or something like that. 


I thought this is something really fun, easy and yummy to make for the coming summer months, maybe perfect to accompany your barbecues.


Ingredients:

1 Packet Jasmin Agar (Jello I guess) mix
1 Can lychee in syrup
1 Bottle coconut gel
 
Start off by preparing the agar mix to make some jello cubes. Now, I'm not sure what "agar" means, I'm assuming its some type of jello mix, but its better than jello because it's natural and not just full of food coloring. 

Basically, I just follow the instruction at the back.


Just empty the packet into 3-cups of water filled saucepan. Stir and bring it to a boil.


Prepare a shallow container and pour your boiling concoction into it.

Let it cool so it'll harden. I put it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to speed up the cooling process.

After it's all cooled and set, cut it into cubes and toss into a serving bowl.

Prepare your canned lychee in syrup, and mix the entire thing - fruit and syrup - into the jello.

Add in the coconut gel and syrup into the bowl, and mix. Surprisingly, the mixture of the lychee syrup and the coconut gel syrup is very very good.

And there you go! Just put it in the refrigerator and serve chilled and you have your yummy refreshing dessert.

Hope you like it and have a refreshing summer!
