Ingredients

For the watermelon layer:

• 1 cup watermelon puree (seedless and blended)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons gelatin powder

For the white layer:

• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons gelatin powder

Optional for decoration:

• Miniature chocolate chips (for the watermelon seeds)
• Small watermelon slices or mint leaves

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Watermelon Layer

1. In a small saucepan, combine the watermelon puree, honey, and water over low heat. Stir until the honey is dissolved and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.
2. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the watermelon mixture and stir continuously until the gelatin completely dissolves.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Miniature Watermelon Jelly

1. Grease the mini jelly molds lightly with cooking spray or a drop of oil. If you don’t have mini jelly molds, small silicone molds or ice cube trays can also work.
2. Carefully pour the watermelon mixture into the molds, filling them about one-third of the way. Leave some space for the white layer on top.
3. Refrigerate the molds for about 30 minutes to allow the watermelon layer to set partially. Keep the remaining watermelon mixture at room temperature.

Step 3: Prepare the White Layer

1. In another saucepan, combine the coconut milk, water, and honey over low heat. Stir until the honey is dissolved, and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.
2. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the coconut milk mixture and stir continuously until the gelatin completely dissolves.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. You can also place the saucepan in a bowl of cold water to speed up the cooling process.

Step 4: Add the White Layer

1. Carefully pour the white mixture on top of the partially set watermelon layer in the molds, filling them to the top.
2. If desired, add a few miniature chocolate chips on top of the white layer to resemble watermelon seeds.
3. Refrigerate the molds for at least 2 hours or until the jelly is completely set.

Step 5: Unmold and Serve

1. Once the jelly is fully set, gently remove the miniature watermelon honey jellies from the molds. If you find it difficult to unmold, you can dip the bottom of the molds in warm water for a few seconds to help release the jelly.
2. Place the miniature watermelon honey jellies on a serving plate and garnish with small watermelon slices or mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Your perfect miniature watermelon honey jellies are now ready to be served! These adorable and delicious treats will be the star of any party or a delightful summer snack. Enjoy the refreshing taste of watermelon and the natural sweetness of honey in each delightful bite.
