Notes for Success:
You will need a sphere mold or something that can easily release these mini jelly cakes.
Agar can be a tricky ingredient in No Bake Desserts such as this one.
A heavy hand ~ even a pinch too much~ can be the difference between creamy delicious and rubbery inedible!
Pay attention to the strength of agar you are using in comparison to the one that author of the recipe is using
I typically use 900 strength in my recipes SPECIFICALLY THIS BRAND BY Landor Trading Co *not sponsored

Notes
Vegan Jelly Cake can be kept at room temperature for up 3 hours but it is best served cold.
Keep refrigerated wrapped loosely or in an air tight container for up to 1 week, although after day 4 I noticed the jelly was getting much more firm
Gretchen, if I used white cranberry juice instead of coconut water, should I leave out or lower the amount of sugar? Thanks.
Hey there! Good idea! Yes you can adjust the sugar to your liking.
What kind of fruit juice should I use? I’m not fond of coconut water.
Really any juice you like, just keep in mind that whatever you use ~ if it has “color” to it, your Jelly Cakes will be that color, which is why I like coconut water because it is the most clear. but apple juice would work, and even plain WATER!! You may want to increase sugar slightly though if you use plain water
Gretchen’s Vegan Bakery And if you want to use sheet or powder gelatin, how much gelatin would it be?
Hi Marta, you would probably do better to look for a non vegan recipe since I do not use gelatin from animal bones & skin
