Chinese Almond Jelly
Description
This almond jelly combines unsweetened almond milk, granulated sugar, and agar powder, which is heated carefully just to boiling to activate the setting properties of agar without boiling over. After removing from heat, almond extract is stirred in for a mild nutty essence. The mixture is strained to ensure a silky texture and poured into a mold to cool and set in the refrigerator.
Once set, the jelly is cut into cubes and served with canned mixed fruit or fresh fruit pieces, complementing the soft, smooth texture and gentle almond flavor. The jelly offers a light, subtly sweet treat popular in Chinese cuisine.
