This konnyaku jelly with a cherry suspended inside is my favorite summer treat. So easy to make, very refreshing, vegan friendly, and gluten-free.
For this recipe, I use konnyaku jelly powder because I like their texture and it’s healthier than gelatin. In case you can’t find konnyaku jelly powder, you can replace it with agar powder or gelatin, but the texture won’t be the same. If you don’t like wobbly jelly reduce the water to 500-750 ml.
