ALMOND JELLY CHUNKS WITH SWEET TANGY LONGAN



Almond Jelly Chunks With Sweet Tangy Longan image

I have been searching for the perfect recipe to make the jelly for this dessert but it always came out wrong and not to my liking. But now I've got it right after some experimenting and it has become a favourite in my home, even with my mom who hates almond jelly (surprisingly!). And the lemon really makes a huge difference, I love everything about this dessert! I hope you'll like it too =) If you can't find canned longan, you can substitute with canned lychees (litchi). Cooking/prep time does not include chill time.

Time 25m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

500 ml milk (I use 99% fat-free milk)
20 g plain gelatin powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 (565 g) can longans in heavy syrup, chilled
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated
1 lemon, juice of

Steps:

  • Combine milk & sugar, bring to a boil and stir frequently while taking care not to let the milk boil over. Turn off the flame.
  • Stir in the almond extract.
  • In a separate small bowl, pour in some of the hot milk & sprinkle in the gelatin powder. Whisk until dissolved with a fork.
  • Return & stir the gelatin mixture into the rest of the hot milk.
  • Pour into a square wet mould & store in refrigerator until set & chilled through (I usually make this in the morning or afternoon & leave it in the fridge until after dinner).
  • Cut into little cubes or diamonds.
  • In a large bowl, combine the longan & its syrup with the lemon zest & juice.
  • Add in very cold water until the mixture is not too sweet (I don't like mine very sweet so I usually add in more or less a cup).
  • Gently stir in the almond cubes/diamonds & scatter a handful of ice cubes if desired.
  • You can also toss in a few split maraschino cherries, if you like!
  • Put out serving bowls and let everyone serve themselves =) Enjoy!

Time 1h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 ½ cups whole almonds
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the almonds onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 10 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake: they burn quickly.
  • Stir together the sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl; set aside.
  • Stir together the water, honey, and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to bubble, stir in the toasted almonds until evenly moistened. Pour the almonds into the sugar and spice mixture, and toss until evenly coated. Spread onto baking sheets in a single layer, and cool to room temperature.

SWEET AND SPICY ROASTED ALMONDS

Not your typical roasted almonds, these have a little kick of chili powder and the depth of more cinnamon than most recipes.

ALMOND JELLY

This is one of my favorite desserts that I get when I go to a Chinese restaurant. With this recipe, it is easy to make it in the comfort of your own home! Serve with some canned fruit cocktail with syrup or just some fresh fruit! It's such a refreshing dessert to enjoy and a very good change from plain gelatin.
