Pandan Coconut Milk And Dragon Fruit Agar-Agar (Low Sugar)

What not to love and enjoy of this homemade dessert, which is low in sugar and 'guilt free.' ~ Yeah ~

Ingredients:

(A)  Pandan layer

  • 60 g. granulated sugar
  • 10 g. agar-agar powder
  • 600 ml. water
  • 100 ml. pandan juice (I mix 100 ml. water with pandan paste)
  • 100 ml. coconut milk
(B)  Dragon fruit layer
  • 4 g. agar-agar powder
  • 40 g. granulated sugar
  • 350 ml. water
  • 3 small cubes dragon fruit
Methods:
  1. In a pot, add granulated sugar, agar-agar powder, water and pandan juice.  Give it a stir.  Put the pot on the stove with medium heat and stir frequently.  Once it comes to a boil, add in coconut milk.  Continue stirring until it comes to a boil, then switch off heat.
  2. Wet the prepared container, and pour the pandan layer into the container.  Use a spoon to remove air bubbles, and set it aside.
  3. In another clean pot, add granulated sugar, agar-agar powder, and water.  Give it a stir.  Put the pot on the stove with medium heat and continue stirring.  Once it almost comes to a boil, add in the dragon fruit cubes.  Continue stirring for another minute.  Switch off heat.
  4. Check the pandan layer to ensure that it has almost set.  You can use a sharp knife to score the top of the pandan layer, but I did not.
  5. Pour the dragon fruit layer over a sieve over the top of the pandan layer.  Chill in the fridge for 2 hours.
  6. Cut and serve!
I adapted this recipe from 'Miss Ling's Kitchen' with a slight adjustment to suit my cooking preference.
