I like agar-agar. My mother used to whip it up quickly for quick snacks, it's also very versatile to just add something inside to make it different enough, as well as putting cubed agar into drinks (I suggest putting them into sodas). I have stocked a few powdered sachets (Swallow Globe brand) , but there is a Bonas brand from the Philippines you can buy in East Asian supermarket if you can't find the powdered version. I guess you can use gelatine or jelly powder, but they will taste different.

Steps

30 minutes

1

Prepare a pan and 900ml of water, boil in medium heat. You can follow the instruction in the sachet if there's any.
2

Prepare another pan, boil the double cream in low heat.
3

Add agar agar sachet powder and 120mg of sugar. You can reduce the amount of sugar or not use at all, but it won't be as tasty. Will be healthier though.
4

Keep stirring, if you don't do this often, it will still be alright, it's just the agar will solidify at the bottom of the pan (I like to scrape and snack on them after I finish).
5

Turn the double cream stove off after the double cream boils. Keep stirring the agar-agar. With the powder, mixing it is very easy, but with the dried agar version, it will take longer to dissolve.
6

Pour the double cream into the agar-agar mixture that has started to boil, keep them on the heat for a few more minutes.
7

Pour the mixture into the containers. Keep it cool in room temperature for 2 hours, after that, put in the fridge for a few more hours. You can test whether it has set or not by using the wooden stirrer on the edges.
8

After it cools, cut and serve, the cream will make it owns layer. You can enjoy it by itself, with a scoop of ice cream, with custard, or with some truffles (see my other recipe). I wonder if I can make a rainbow version by physics only, maybe next agar-agar time.

No-recipe, 1-hour or less batch cooker for 1. I usually buy grocery monthly, so recipes are usually pantry staples + dry ingredients. I also like microwave oven! Mostly SEA-inspired cooking. I apparently do a lot of fusions.
