If you put boiling agar agar into a cool substance, it will immediately create lumps and probably ruin whatever you’re making.

I was exploring Carrageenan since the setting is more jelly and shaky then the firm setting from agar agar. Although, Agar agar is more easy to work with. Is there a way we can make agar agar more jellish, i.e., if you shake the dessert, it kinda moves like jelly but comes back to its original position?Nikshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00479927603150366563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3625322099517733495.post-61553876932269583432020-12-03T02:08:35.674-08:002020-12-03T02:08:35.674-08:00Carrageenan won’t work like agar agar.

It was extremely hard and nearly impossible to cut through. Could you tell me where I might have gone wrong? I followed the recipe pretty much exactly. I also found the crust to be a little too sweet, so next time I will put less sugar.

I've suggested to others that perhaps a simple syrup could be used, but I haven't tried this, I have no idea how that would workout or if you'd need to up the agar agar to make it congeal correctly.Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06693533507810286502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3625322099517733495.post-69838050269168107442020-07-17T04:23:39.143-07:002020-07-17T04:23:39.143-07:00For the Orange cheesecake, logically I would think...For the Orange cheesecake, logically I would think it just needs more agar agar.

The Agar Agar pack mentions using 1 Gm ...Dear Dori,<br />The Agar Agar pack mentions using 1 Gm of Agar for 100 ml mix for setting the cake mix, your recipe shows using just 3/4 tsp for a very large quantity of mixes(almost double the volume). I was making an orange cheesecake with 200 ml cream cheese, 40 gms caster sugar, 50 gms yogurt, 200 ml cream and used 5 gms of Agar but it did not set firmly. I followed the recipe properly with quantities and process. What could have gone wrong? I used Agar powder in 30 ml water for dissolving and boiling, cooled it till room temperature and then mixed it. FYI please, during the boiling it did not stick at the bottom of the pan and had dissolved properly. I used 3 gms of Agar with 200 ml of orange juice and 20 gms sugar for the first layer of Orange Jelly and it set perfectly after an hour of refrigeration. I shall be grateful if you could throw some light on the issue I faced. Thanks.

I’ve been looking everywhere for no-bake cheesecake recipe using agar-agar with a proper instruction on how to blend it also with the water ratio, and so far this is the best one! In my place it’s a lot easier to find agar-agar instead of gelatin. However, I still have some questions. If I use powdered sugar instead of sweetened condensed milk, is it ok if I just pour the agar-agar (after it’s been activated) straight to the cheese mixture one at a time or should I just wait for it to cool down first? If yes, how long does it take until it’s ready to be mixed? Because I’m afraid the agar-agar will be set first before I blend it to mixture and won’t blend well<br />Thank you so much for the effort of sharing the recipe with us :). I hope you’re doing well especially in this pandemic.

I've been looking for many no bake cheesecake recipe, but a lot of them use gelatin so I'm very happy to finally found a detailed recipe using agar agar!

When it comes down in temperature it congeals. So if you poor it into something cold, the risk would be that it doesn’t incorporate correctly into your mixture, and you either end up with lumps or worse. Lukewarm is probably fine, but I’d advise against adding it to something cold.

I'm assuming that the cake part is cooked first, and then the layers are assembled when cool. What you'd want to keep in mind is that this recipe is not as dense as regular cheesecake, it's light and airy. The risk would be that it would come out the sides, so logically, you would want to use a lighter instead of dense cake, maybe thinner layers, then you'd want to put the layers together in a mold and stick it in the frig. It should be served cold. I haven't really made any other desserts with agar agar, but the important part is it has to be boiled for 4-5 minutes to activate it, and then poured into an already warm liquid. Just use the basic instructions I gave above. You should look up gelatin to agar agar conversion, because agar agar is way stronger than gelatin. Ironically, I've developed a dairy allergy since I wrote this, and in France there is no vegan cream cheese!

So are you still planning on heating the sweetened condensed milk and pouring the agar agar into that? or were you planning to pour it in to heated yogurt? I'm not sure what will happen to your yogurt if you heat it, but why not give it a try? I've never tried to whip coconut milk, so I'm not sure how that works. If it doesn't whip up good, I might try adding some whipping cream to the coconut milk, or chickpea cooking water if it's not salted.
