Orange Pomelo Fruit Agar-Agar

This healthy, refreshing and less sweet dessert is good to have during this hot season.  I am using Pamelo to top the agar-agar, but you can use other fruits such as dragon fruit, kiwi, papaya, etc.  

Ingredients: (makes 3 glasses)

Base Layer

250 ml. orange juice (freshly squeezed)

1/4 + 1/2 tsp. agar-agar powder

25 g. granulated sugar

Methods:

1. In a small pan, add orange juice, agar-agar powder and sugar; stir to mix.
2. Place the pan over low heat and boil the mixture.
3. Rest the glasses in a loaf pan, slightly tilted.
4. Pour the mixture into each glass; and wait for it to set, just room temperature.

Top Layer

Flesh of Pomelo (break into smaller sections)

1/4 + 1/2 tsp. agar-agar powder

30 g. granulated sugar

250 ml. water

Methods:

1. In a small pan, add water, agar-agar powder and sugar; stir to mix.
2. Place the pan over low heat and boil the mixture.
3. Once the base layer is set, pour the liquid into all the glasses.
4. Add pomelo, use a spoon to push the fruits into the liquid.
5. Chill and set in the fridge.
6. Enjoy when its set and cold direct from the fridge.
