Natural Rainbow Jelly Eggs - Jelly #2





I made these for Reuben's 1st Birthday Bash few months back.

Since nowadays not many fancy red eggs, of which is a must for Chinese birthdays, I switched to Rainbow eggs and made them with jelly so that everybody will enjoy eating them. I also chose to use natural colours so that everybody can eat colourful jelly with an ease of mind. I layered the colours with a milk layer in between so that the colours will look more prominent.




Natural Rainbow Jelly
Recipe source: WendyinKK

30 egg shells, washed and boiled.

Orange layer
250ml carrot juice (from 100gm carrots, strained)
20gm sugar
1 tsp agar powder

Blue Layer
250ml blue pea flower infusion (from about 30 buds)
30gm sugar 1 tsp agar powder

Green Layer
250ml pandan juice
30gm sugar
1 tsp agar powder

Pink Layer
250ml pink dragon fruit juice (from half a dragonfruit, fork pressed,then mixed with water, strained)
25gm sugar
1 tsp agar powder

Milk Layer
*Make 3 times
125ml water
125ml fresh milk
30gm sugar
1 tsp agar powder

1. Wash and prepare egg shells. Place them in egg tray, over a large piece of plastic..
2. Cook first layer of colour. Combine ingredients and heat until boiling. Remove from heat. Use a syringe and insert 8-9ml into each egg shell.
3. Cook milk layer. Combine ingredients and heat until boiling, remove from heat. Use a syringe and insert 8-9ml into each egg shell.
4. Repeat with next layer of colour and milk layer, until the layering is complete.

*Take note that the layers are quick to cool and harden with the initial 2 layers, and takes longer as more layers are built. Work under the fan or somewhere cook and refrain from moving the egg trays before everything is fully set.

I also made this is an 8 inch pan with the same recipe, just nice and almost filled the pan to the rim :)

  3. Really cute! When you decide to make this egg jelly, you must have started to collect the egg shells till you have enough, right? Children sure loves this because they are cute.

  9. Wendy, the colours are so vibrant and pretty! I really love the egg jelly. Chin chia sui wor! How did you remove the jelly from the pan? I see you have very neat cuts.

  10. Pei San,
    Yes, got a bit.


    Shenny,
    Unfortunately roselle might react with the milk layer and not stay pink, the natural pigment in dragon fruit and roselle is not the same.


    Tracy Low,
    Thanks!


    Phong Hong,
    Agar-agar is very easy to remove from pan, just pry it all around and turn it to drop.

  13. These are so pretty and what an excellent idea to replace red eggs with this! Quite some work isn't it and need to be fast too otherwise the layers wont stick together properly? The one set in the pan looks equally pretty.

  14. very creative and the jelly looks so nice....

  15. Very sharp col and nice. My jelly always failed always too soft. How long you have to wait for the 1st layer to set before add 2nd layer?

  18. Haaaaaa..... you really know how to persuade me to step into the kitchen har...? I did something similar 2 yrs ago when my hubby's nephews came back for CNY---your red dragon fruit with lemon juice, but with the seeds and in egg shells. He kept on asking for "jelly-eggs" after that. Thanks for the this marvellous idea!

  24. Lite home Bake,
    Absolutely true, the timing is crucial, too soon and the layers break, too slow and it won't stick


    GK Arusavai,
    thanks


    Jes,
    Are u asking about the egg or pan ones?
    The egg is immediately leh... using syringe to insert is rather slow de, haha.
    The pan, you have to visually gauge, wobbly but not sticky to touch.


    Ayudiah,
    thanks


    Gee,
    terima kasih!


    Small kucing,

  25. Siew,
    U're welcomed


    Meldy,
    If u lazy to layer it hoh, just make different colours in diff eggs, hehehehehe.



    reanna claire,
    actually just 4 colours, but 7 layers, the white layers will eventually take on some colour from both sides of the pigments :p


    Bee,
    thanks


    Therese,
    It's the infusion from the blue pea flower.
    I am not sure where are u from.
    But here, it's grown at home.
    Some ladies do sell it, but rarely.


    Veronica,
    I try as often as I can to use natural colours,
    Thanks!


    Shu Han,
    thanks

  27. Your eggs look lovely. This is very good idea! Greetings:)

  28. 那每一层颜色都不可以等冷了才放第二层咯?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Summer,
    I didn't wait for the first 3 layers because by the time I finished the 30th egg, the 1st egg is hard already. If the layers are too hard before you add the next, it will not stick.
    It should be wobbly with a set surface. 4th layer onwards I waited a while only until surface set.

  34. fantastic blog n jelly eggs :)
    wondering can i substitute with orange juice for carrot juice, kiwi juice for pandan juice?
    how long can the egg last? can i do it 1 day b4 the actual day? thx

    ReplyDelete
  35. summer yee,
    konyakku solidifies way way faster, you will need to work extra fast


    qzenp,
    if you keep them in the fridge, they can be made days ahead. Orange juice may not give you strong colours without the pulp. Kiwi juice, I'm not sure if the enzymes will interfere with setting.

  36. Hi Wendy,

    I made these yesterday and they are so pretty. I use pan, not eggs. However, taste wise is not so great. Any idea how I can improve on the taste? Can I replace milk with coconut milk? I can quite distinctly taste the carrot and the pandan flavour and they taste a bit odd to me. Timing is really crucial here, I broke the first milk layer a bit, and the second layer I waited too long and when I bite they split, haha! I guess practice makes perfect. Thanks again!

  37. Jennifer,
    I made this for sugar conscious adults. So, it could taste bland to some, but ok for others. Add more sugar if you like it sweeter. But I'll say, sweeter will taste better because it could bring out the flavours better.
    You can try half milk half coconut milk because coconut milk might split when cooked. The milk in it helps prevent a split look.You can use evaporated milk too.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hi Wendy,

    Yes, I noticed it's not very sweet, just to my liking! I remember my mom used to make agar-agar with coconut for the top layer and they're yummy. Good idea to use evaporated milk. Thanks again! I'll make again once my blue pea flower plant starts flowering :)

  39. Hi, beautiful eggs. My boys love them. For the milk layer, make 3 times? Meaning triple the amount in total; can make together then split into 3 portions? Btw, how many grams is 1 tsp of agar agar powder? Hope to hear from u soon. Thanks:)

    ReplyDelete
  40. Hi, great for easter day. can i ask how many gram is one tsp of agar agar powder.in your recipe? Thanks
    Shanna

    ReplyDelete
  41. Shanna Soh,
    I didn't weigh it, but it should be around 4g each tsp as 1 Tbsp of agar powder is around 10gm.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hi Wendy,

    May I know can I replace the fresh milk with yogurt drink?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Jessica,b
    the 'white' effect might not be as prominent if you use yogurt drink

    ReplyDelete

  46. Hi... Love your blog.
    I would like to ask, if I use Konnyaku jelly to make the jelly egg, will the out come be wobbly that the egg shape will not stand?

    Do I need to add in (veg) gelatin to make it hold better?

    (Jasslyn Hoh)


    ReplyDelete
  47. Jasslyn,
    You can try with konnyaku, but the measurements will be different. Method will be different and colour outcome might be different due to the acid needed in konnyaku jelly. Acid will turn the blue to purple and green to a faded green.

    Sorry, I have no experience in using Vegetarian gelatin.
