Although it is Chinese New Year and not the mooncake or mid autumn festival, I still like to use the mooncake mould to make my agar agar. Simply love the shape and pattern.
Firstly, boil 12 gm agar agar powder(1 packet - white colour), 850ml of water, 200 gm caster sugar, 200 ml coconut cream(1 box of Kara Coconut Cream). Then divide into two equal portions and add one drop of different food colouring to each portion. Let it set in the fridge.
I used one can of fruit cocktail. Drain the syrup in the can and wash off the sweetness of the cocktail fruits, I dont want additional sweetness in the agar agar.
Next make the second layer of plain agar agar. Just follow the instruction behind the packet of agar agar powder.
When boiled, let it cool a while but not let it set. Pour some 2nd layer of plain agar again onto the already set 1st layer of coconut agar agar. Before pouring remember to use a fork and lightly scratch the surface of the coconut agar agar layer. Then filled the mould with some fruit cocktail and then pour more plain agar agar to cover the fruit cocktail and to fill the mould. Placed in the fridge to set.
Love the pretty two layers of agar agar with cocktail fruits.
Verdict - everyone loved the agar agar for its taste and beautiful looking agar agar. I am so pleased.
I had some remaining plain agar agar so I pour into agar agar mould. They looked transparent and cute.
