Agar-agar palm sugar (gula Melaka) with coconut cream and egg

Agar-agar palm sugar (gula Melaka) with coconut cream and egg.

 

This jelly is my all time favourite. One piece is always never enough.

It is advisable to use a good quality Gula Melaka for making this jelly. You could smell and taste the difference between a good quality as compared to low grade Gula Melaka. I bought my Gula Melaka from a sundry shop at Jalan Kubu in Melaka.

A good quality Gula Melaka is sold in blocks, dark in colour, soft and crumbly and as mentioned earlier, it smells more fragrant.

I use the following recipe to make my Agar-agar Gula Melaka :

Good quality gula Melaka

Ingredients :

(A)

4 cups water

10 gm agar-agar powder

200 gm gula Melaka

¼ cup brown sugar

1 pandan leaf (tie into a knot)

 

(B)

250 gm coconut cream (kara brand)

1 egg

A pinch of salt

(Mix the 3 ingredients together and set it aside)

 

One 9 inch line baking tray (wet it)

 

Procedure

Prepare a pot. Place (A) in the pot. Let it boil and at the same time keep on stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove pandan leaf.

Add (B) into the same pot. Continue stirring and let it boil rapidly for 2 minutes.

Turn off heat.

Pour the agar-agar mixture into the baking tray. Let it cool.

Place it in the refrigerator for the agar-agar to harden.

Slice and serve chilled.

Enjoy!
