Soften the gelatine in 1 cup of the liquid. Set over medium heat and cook until the gelatine melts. Remove from the heat and pour in the remaining liquid. Stir well. Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish and leave to set.
Meanwhile, cut the coconut meat into strips. Or, use a teaspoon to scrape the meat from the husks.
Halve the rambutan.
When firm, cut the gelatine into 1-inch cubes.

Hi Connie!
I’ve been wanting to try doing the recipes you post here. But just can’t give the time for it. But this recipe, can you suggest another fruit to sub lychee and rambutan?
Do you think mango will be a good idea?
Thank you and more power to your site! : )
