When I first made Yoghurt Agar Jelly, I thought the firm texture of Agar Agar was not suitable for Yoghurt flavour. However, as Agar Agar is a popular vegetarian gelling agent to make gelatinous dessert, I tried to improve the texture. I reduced the amount of Agar Agar, but the jelly was still too firm. I increased other ingredients, and I was not sure if the jelly would set, but the jelly set well, firmer than I expected. Now I can share the recipe with you.
Makes
4 Servings
Ingredients
1 cup Unsweetened Yoghurt
1/3 cup Sugar
300ml Milk
2/3 teaspoon (about 2g) Agar Agar Powder
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice *optional
Fruit Sauce OR Jam to serve *Today I served with Berry Sauce
Method
- Combine Yoghurt and Sugar in a small bowl, and slightly warm in the microwave, OR leave it at room temperature. *Note: Yoghurt must NOT cold when add it to Milk mixture.
- Place Milk and Agar Agar Powder in a saucepan, mix well, and bring to the boil, stirring frequently. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- Gradually add Yoghurt to the Milk mixture, constantly mixing with a whisk. *Note: If Yoghurt is cold, it partially sets Milk mixture.
- Add Lemon Juice and gently mix to combine. Pour into serving glasses OR jelly moulds, then cool in the fridge to set. Enjoy with fresh Fruit OR Fruit Sauce. Today I added Berry Sauce that was made with Frozen Mixed Berries.
- How to make the Berry Sauce: Place 1 cup Frozen Mixed Berries and 1 tablespoon Sugar in a heatproof bowl and microwave for 2-3 minutes. Cool completely. I added some uncooked Frozen Berries to the cooled sauce for better texture.
