Lately, I have got a few pounds of lump king crab meat at home. They are freshly picked from a steamed large king crab that is sourced from a local seafood wholesaler.
I'm feeling a need to make something tropical, but easy, elegant, and great for a capane party.
Chilling the coconut water into semi-solid, forming the jelly to be served with fresh crabmeat and laced with young coconut meat.
And did I mention this clear liquid inside the coconut fruit is nutritiously packed with vitamins and minerals? So healthy!

You'll need:
330g fresh coconut water, from 2 young coconut
4g gelatin
Salt, optional
Flesh of 2 young coconut
1/4 lb. lump crabmeat
Chopped Spring onion, to garnish
How to make crabmeat and coconut jelly cocktail:
- Open the young coconuts and extract the coconut water. Pour them over a fine sieve to remove residue.
- Separate 1/4 of the liquid into a small bowl. Heat in microwave or over simmering water, and add the gelatin. Stir to melt.
- Combine the liquid and add salt to taste. Set in any container and chill in the fridge to set.
- Meanwhile, remove the coconut flesh from the shell. Trim and remove any brown skin.
- To serve, spoon some coconut water jelly, add lump crabmeat and chopped green onion.
With all my love <3
