Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Agar agar powder
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Unsweetened cranberry juice
- 1 cup Fresh or thawed frozen raspberries
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and agar agar powder. Stir the mixture well to ensure the agar agar is dissolved completely.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
Add the cranberry juice and maple syrup to the saucepan and stir well to combine.
Add the raspberries, gently mash them with a fork or spoon to release their juices while keeping some texture, and stir gently.
Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Simmer the mixture for another minute to blend the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
After cooling slightly, pour the mixture into individual serving molds or a large mold of your choice.
Allow the gelatin to set at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Once set, remove the molds by gently running a knife around the edges and inverting them onto a serving plate.
Serve chilled and enjoy your vegan classic red gelatin dessert!
