Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Almond milk
- 4 grams Agar-agar powder
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 ml Water
- 30 grams Sliced almonds
- 100 grams Fresh fruits (such as strawberries or mango, for topping)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the agar-agar powder and water. Allow it to sit for about 1 minute to hydrate the agar-agar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the agar-agar is completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the almond milk and sugar to the saucepan. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture starts to steam, about 4-5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or individual serving molds, allowing it to cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Then, place it in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once set, unmold the almond jelly by running a thin knife around the edges of the mold and inverting it onto a plate.
Garnish with sliced almonds and fresh fruit of your choice before serving. Enjoy your refreshing vegan almond jelly!
