Hi Bonnie! Yay, glad you liked it! As long as the gelatin and sugar get dissolved, you can keep the heat off. It doesn’t need to be boiling after that. Hope that helps!

I made it and it was delicious.. I just had a question . after mixing the coconut water with sugar and dissolving it to the point of boil… when I add the coconut milk, milk, and bloomed coconut water do I need to keep the heat on? or do I mix it all without heat? ty 

Hi, yes you can! It will be a different end texture. I haven’t tested out the measurements with agar agar to know the best texture, but a good start is to replace the gelatin with about a third as much agar agar.

Thanks so much for taking the time to review, Ande! I appreciate it!

Hi Sweta, unfortunately I’m not an expert at purple rice, so I’m not sure! Let me know if you figure it out.

This was delicious! I liked it better than Yezi! (And it was so much cheaper!) I panicked it wasn’t going to set and added extra gelatin, but after it sat overnight I think the suggested gelatin was spot on for the almost soft tofu-like texture. I will definitely make this again. 

I love purple rice at the bottom and Fresh mango topping, so to use that I need to cook the purple rice with something or just plain water and let it sit at the bottom and chill?

Hi Karen, you can find it at most Chinese markets in a jar like peanut butter! Some brands (like Rooted Fare) are presweetened while others are not, so just check the label and buy according to your preference 🙂
