Thai Jelly Agar Dessert

I bought a packet of this at Bangkok Market on Melrose last week and thought I'd give it a try today. It's the easiest thing ever. You just mix up the packet with 2 cups of water in a pot, bring it to a boil, pour into a mold, add sliced fruit, put it in the fridge for about half an hour and voila! A fun jelly like dessert. It's got a very nice fruity and not too sweet flavor. The sliced bananas upped the sweetness a bit more. I liked the bananas in it but I think their flavor overpowered the jelly a little too much. I think I'd rather have it plain next time. And in case you're wondering, no this does not feel or taste anything like Jello. By the way, Jello is made from gelatin which is derived from animal connective tissue, skin and bone, ew! This product is made from agar which is derived from algae that has thickening properties like gelatin. Ingredients of this product: Agar agar, sugar, anti-caking agent, silicon dioxide, artificial flavor




Look at that lovely green!
