    Hey blessed homemaker,

    Thanks for sharing this recipe. Both ribena and konnyaku jelly are my kids' fav.

    One thing i always fail is that my fruits always float up to the surface, creating a fruity bulge :O unlike yours, the nata de coco sit so nicely inside the jelly.
    Can you share your secret with me?;) thanks a billion

    May I help to answer Cupcake's question?

    Ur konnyaku mixture could be too hot. Once I made manggo pudding (uses konnyaku too), and the first few that I filled up, the nata floated up and the last ones that I filled sank. I made 300 servings with a few batches and, that's why I found out.

    This is my daughter's favourite. Sadly we can't find this powder here to make. We have used up all that we brought here :( Hope to go back again soon.

    Tks wendy for the answer! I must try again when the jelly mixture is luke warm. Once I panicked when the saw the bottom almost setting. Guess got to keep practicing to perfect it.
    I also added some "tadpoles" in the jelly. My JELLY MONSTERS walloped the 4 trays immediately aft I took out from the fridge!

    Pearlyn, I hope your kids will enjoy them.

    Arkerchi, thanks for lurking around and dropping me a note.

    Honey boy/Lia/Mrs Multitasker, I guess we just can't go wrong with Ribena.

    Angel, have a smooth delivery!

    wendy, thanks for sharing your experience and I encountered the same problem too. You did 300 servings all in small moulds? Kudos to you! I did your mango pudding and gave up after filling just 3 trays! Too time consuming. I'm not a big fan of jellies/agar agar but DH and kids are.

    MaryMoh, thanks for dropping by. Maybe you want to try it out with gelatin or even agar agar powder?

    cupcake, I like the kiwi seeds too!

    Hi BH, I had tried this out on Saturday, but I had put in too much water, so the jelly is too soft, but it tastes yummy, I will try again, thanks for the idea!
