Coffee Chocolate Mousse

This is the first time that I was trying to make a vegetarian mousse using Agar-Agar instead of gelatin. I was quite nervous of the outcome. But I have to say it came out pretty neat. I was always very apprehensive of using agar-agar.  I was happy with my first time try, so I may try more recipes with this.

 

Ingredient

China grass / agar-agar - 10grams (cut into small pieces)

Milk – 4 cups

Sugar – 5 to 6 tbsp

Coco powder – 3 tbsp dissolved in 2 tbsp milk

Coffee powder – 2 tsp dissolved in 2 tbsp milk

Cream – 1 tbsp

Method 

1.      In a non-stick pan combine 1 ½ cup of water with agar-agar and cook over a slow flame till it dissolves completely, stirring continuously.

2.      Strain the mixture and keep aside.

3.      In a pan boil the milk.

4.      Add sugar, coco mixture, coffee mixture and agar-agar liquid.

5.      Simmer over a slow flame, stirring continuously for 5 -7 min.

6.      Remove from flame and let it cool.
