It is suitable to make dragon fruit jelly since red dragon fruit has a very deep pinkish red which is suitable to use as a natural red food colouring and to make appealing.
Add agar-agar powder and sugar to plain water (NOT hot water) and mix well, then add in pandan leaves.
Bring to the boil, continue cooking until agar-agar powder and sugar have fully dissolved. Set aside for 15 minutes to allow the liquid agar-agar to slightly cool down (high heat will destroy nutrients in dragon fruit).
Mash the red dragon fruit flesh.
When liquid agar-agar has slightly cooled down, discard pandan leaves, then add in the mashed flesh and mix well.
Pour liquid dragon fruit agar-agar into jelly moulds. Set aside to cool completely.
When completely cooled, chill for 2-3 hours before serving.
To unmould, run a knife around the edge of mould, then invert dragon fruit jelly onto a plate.
