Ingredients:
1 tablespoon agar-agar powder
1 cup (240 ml) water

Directions:
Prepare Agar-Agar:
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon of agar-agar powder and 1 cup of water. Stir well to dissolve the agar-agar.
Add Coconut Milk and Cocoa:
Once the agar-agar is dissolved, add 1 ½ cups of coconut milk and 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the saucepan. Stir until the cocoa powder is fully mixed.
Boil the Mixture:
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent lumps. Allow the mixture to boil for about 2-3 minutes.
Set the Jelly:
Remove the mixture from heat and pour it into a mold or serving cups. Let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating for 2 hours, or until fully set.
Serve:
Once the jelly is set, cut into slices or serve directly from the molds. Enjoy chilled!
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with fresh fruit, such as berries or mango slices.
Drizzle with extra coconut milk or chocolate syrup for added indulgence.
Garnish with shredded coconut or chopped nuts for a crunchy texture.

For a creamier texture, you can substitute part of the water with more coconut milk.
