Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Chanda try this. I don't care for Asian desserts myself but I'm sure you will like this. Use chopped up fresh fruit or canned (drained) . Here's what you do. Get a packet of the agar agar flakes. Place 1 cup of juice (try apple juice at first) and 1 tablespoon of agar flakes. Bring to a boil, stir and simmer for 10 minsutes. If using agar powder simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, pour into a bowl, cool slightly and add fruit and spices (cinnamon, cardamom, etc.) Chill to set. This really is good. The Asian fruits might not be to your liking. Experiment with it. You can also simmer soy milk with the agar and add vanilla, cinnamon and it will set. Reminds me of a pudding or custard with no dairy or egg. It's worth a try. That's the nice thing about being a vegetarian, we are more likely to experiment in the kicthen. Now I have a recipe I won't post..LOL I just got off the phone with my junk food nephew from out of state. He was trying to explain how to make a killer bread pudding out of 2 day old Krispy Kreme donuts........hahahahahahahaha DonnaPuterWitch <puterwitch wrote: I never liked Asian desserts "In the present position of the planets, it's impossible to say;Just when I'll find my course again, with the boulders in my way.I should be rolling down the skyway on my cosmic wheels;Instead of stumbling down this highway on my boots of steel"Source: Cosmic Wheels by Donovan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
