This light, fluffy, slightly sweet coconut jelly, often seen on yum cha trolleys, is also a popular finish to a spicy meal in Malaysia where it’s known as agar-agar kelapa. I use Ayam Tetra Pak coconut milk for desserts rather than the canned one; it’s whiter and smoother so works better in sweet dishes, including that other Malaysian classic, gula melaka (see video below).
