The vegetarian Milk Jelly can be easily made with Corn Starch, but Agar Agar Powder is also a great option. I used Golden Cup Agar Agar Powder and it is available from most Asian grocery stores. Today I used Soy Milk, so this jelly is actually Vegan. Enjoy the Milk Jelly with your favourite fruit, sauce OR syrup. I added Strawberry Sauce in the photo above.

Makes

4 Servings

Ingredients

1 & 1/4 teaspoons (4g) Agar Agar Powder *I used Golden Cup Agar Agar Powder
*Note: If you set this jelly in serving glasses, 1 teaspoon is enough for softer jelly.

2 cups (500ml) Milk of your choice *I used Soy Milk today
1 to 4 tablespoons Sugar
*Note: Add Sugar depending on sweetness of the Milk you use. Today I used Soy Milk that was slightly sweetened, and I added 1 tablespoon.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract *optional
Coffee Syrup, Muscovado Syrup (黒みつ), Matcha Syrup, Blueberry Sauce, Strawberry Sauce, Pureed Mango, Passionfruit, etc.

Method
  1. Place Sugar and Agar Agar Powder in a saucepan and mix well. Add Milk of your choice and Vanilla, mix well, and bring to the boil, stirring frequently. Once it started boiling, remove from heat.
  2. Pour the mixture in the serving glasses, jelly moulds or a plastic container. When cool enough, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and place in the fridge for a few hours or until completely set.
  3. *Note: When you use Soy Milk, the boiled Soy Milk might form a thin film of protein on the surface. I recommend to remove the film before the jelly sets.
  4. Spoon out OR cut into small cubes if set in a container, and enjoy the jelly with your favourite fruit, sauce OR syrup. The photo above is Soy Milk Jelly and I added Strawberry Sauce.
  5. *Note: The photo below is the same jelly, set in a container and spooned out, and I added Coffee Syrup.
