Agar-agar Marble - Chocolate and Milk

The preparations and ingredients for the all time favorite dessert is rather easy.
All you need is the patience for the jelly to hardened before you can eat it!
I am sure every family has their own favourite and secret version of this recipe. But I got the recipe from Kongsi Resepi, but I can't remember who the blogger was. But anyway thank you very much!


You might have noticed that the 'jelly moulds' are actually cupcakes pan! Yep, just got them and I wanted to try them out so much, I poured the jelly into them. Very happy to report they were truly worth every sen!
Small bowls or cups or the usually jelly moulds also can. It is entirely up to you.

Right, back to the recipe. The actually recipe calls for the agar-agar mixture to be divided into two, one for chocolate and the other for milk. But I didn't do this instead for the milk I took out about a cup while the rest of the agar-agar I mixed it with cocoa powder. It is really up to you how you want your jelly to look like, more chocolate, or milk or equal parts. Or you could just make it an all chocolatey agar-agar!


Chocolate Agar-agar
source: Kongsi Resepi.com


A
1 packet agar-agar (It is strips of dried transparent strips of agar-agar, in a long clear packet)
1 cup sugar

B
1 medium egg
1 tin of evaporated milk
2 Tbsp custard powder
750 ml water
1 tsp vanilla

C
4 Tbsp cocoa powder or Milo



Method
Put A into a pot and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low.
Next in a bowl, beat the egg and milk. Separately, combine the custard powder and 2 Tbsp of water first
before adding the rest of the water. This is to prevents lumps. Add the custard mixture and vanilla into the bowl of egg and milk.

Pour the milky mixture into the pot of agar-agar and mix well. Stir to combine all. Turn up the heat again and boil. Don't boil too long or it will be lumpy.

Next divide the agar-agar to the portions you want. Leave one plain and the other add the cocoa powder or Milo.

Pour one portion into moulds leaving it to slightly hardened, about a few minutes. Keep checking, if the jelly is slightly shaky is the best time to marble it or if you prefer to have 2 layers instead, wait a bit more before pouring the other portion.

Happy Baking.
