4 pudding bottles of semi-coconut agar-agar jellies prepared in celebration of Singapore 52nd National Day πΈπ¬π
As the jellies were prepared in a hurry, hence not many photos were taken for this recipe π¬
Serving: 4 x 200ml pudding bottles
Ingredients
5g agar agar strips *400g water
1~2 blades pandan leaves
50g fine sugar
100g cold coconut milk
Pinch of salt
100g water
Red food colouring
* If you prefer a stiffer jelly, you can increase the agar agar strips to 6g. The 5g quantity is just nice for scooping from a cup.
Directions
1. Rinse and soak the dried agar agar strips for about 15 to 20 minutes. The final weight of the soaked agar agar was about 26 to 27g.
Drain away the water and cut the agar agar strips into shorter length.
3. Add 50g of fine sugar to the agar agar water, stir till all the sugar dissolved.
4. Pour out about 240g of the agar agar water into a mixing bowl, and mix with the cold coconut milk and pinch of salt till well combined.
5. Pour about 70g each of the coconut-agar agar mixture into 4 pudding bottles. Refrigerate them till the surface harden (about 15 to 20 minutes).
6. Pour the remaining about 60~50g of the coconut-agar agar mixture into a flat plate lined with a cling wrap or a parchment paper. The thickness was about 2 to 3 mm. Refrigerate till the layer solidified.
