Agar Agar Batik

This was served at Alexander's Birthday Party. I have made so many kuihs and they were all so rich with coconut milk, so i decided to make this agar agar using gula melaka and condensed milk. I think i should have posted a disclaimer for the guests, that i will not be responsible for any health issues as all the food served are not healthy. Well, how often do the guests get pampered with all the kuih muihs served?


Ingredients:

The brown layer:

3 tbsp agar agar powder
1200 ml water
225 g /8 oz gula melaka

1/2 cup sugar

The Milk Layer:

1 tbsp agar agar powder
600 ml water
1/2 cup condensed milk

Method:

Cook the milk layer by putting 600 ml water in a saucepan and turn on the heat, then whisk in agar agar.

Cook until agar agar is dissolved, then add in the condensed milk.

Pour into a cake pan to cool.

Put in the fridge to set. when it is set, remove and cut into shreds.

While the milk layer is in the fridge, cook the brown layer by boiling all the ingredients together until dissolved.

Pass through a fine sieve.

To assemble:

Put the shredded milk layer into a fancy mould, then pour in the warm brown layer.

Leave to cool before putting into the fridge to set.

When set, unmould and serve.
