Two layer fruit Kanten.

Hello everyone. Here's my latest offering - a kanten based dessert made in two layers.

For anyone who hasn't come across kanten before, (agar agar is a close relative,) it's an algae based product used to make jellies and other desserts. It's similar to gelatine but it's completely a non-animal product, so suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It's also full of fibre so it's also great for your digestion.

This recipe is healthy, a cinch to make and it always get the thumbs up when I serve it to guests!

I used some canned "fruit cocktail" to make this but you can, of course, use fresh fruit if you want to. You'll need some fruit juice for the top layer of kanten - I used mango juice here.

Once you've got the hang of making this dish, you'll be able to experiment with all sorts of different colour combinations and layers.

If you want to try this out, you can find the youtube tutorial by clicking Two layer fruit Kanten or scroll to the bottom of the page. the written recipe is just below.

Have some fun in your kitchen! Kurumi XXXX.
