Jelly is very common dessert in Asia. It has different texture from Pudding and is made of konjac and seaweed extract. It has bouncy texture and gelatin-like appearance. In Indonesia, the famous brand for instant jelly is Nutrijell. They have plenty variant with different flavors. They've also been around since I was a kid. I am also proud to say, it was my first entrepreneurship thing when I was in elementary school, selling jellies. But yeah, now I don't do jellies anymore, I just love making them when I crave a real cake because I don't have proper tools to bake. So jelly cake has always been my option especially when money's tight.

I should probably try to use coffee powder. I wonder how that'll turn out. While writing this recipe, I was wandering off a bit so I actually forgot what I was about to say. But yeah, it tastes sweet+sour. Not the best flavor for me but it was decent. If you like something sweeter, try to use more sugar. But remember, do not go overboard than 30gr. Otherwise, that will leave no room for you to try other stuff. ~ signing out
