Soy Milk Agar Agar
Soy Milk Agar Agar is a delicate Asian dessert made with soy milk, evaporated milk, agar agar powder and pandan leaves, topped with fresh longan and seedless grapes. The Thermomix TM7 heats and stirs the milky base automatically so the agar agar sets into a silky, wobbly pudding every time.
About this recipe
Soy Milk Agar Agar Thermomix TM7 recipes bring a classic Asian jelly dessert within easy reach of your all-in-one kitchen machine. This light dessert pairs soy milk with full cream evaporated milk and fragrant pandan leaves, set with agar agar powder for a vegetarian-friendly alternative to gelatine. Making agar agar on the hob demands constant stirring because the milk base catches and scorches easily; the TM7 removes that risk by heating and stirring the mixture automatically until it is uniformly dissolved. Once chilled, the jelly turns silky and delicately wobbly, ready to be crowned with fresh longan and seedless grapes for a fruity finish. It is a wonderful make-ahead dessert for summer dinners, festive buffets or lunchboxes, and because agar agar sets quickly at room temperature, you do not even need the fridge for long. If you are searching for an elegant, light dessert recipe that showcases what guided Thermomix cooking can do, this pandan-scented jelly deserves a place in your weekly menu.
Preparation tips
- Stir the agar agar powder into a few spoonfuls of the soy milk before adding it to the mixing bowl, so it disperses without lumps and the jelly sets evenly throughout.
- Bruise the pandan leaves lightly before adding them to the milky base; this releases far more of their signature vanilla-like fragrance into the soy and evaporated milk mixture.
- Serve the set jelly well chilled with longan and seedless grapes arranged on top just before eating, so the fruit stays fresh and juicy rather than weeping into the agar agar.
Recipe variations
- Make a fully plant-based version by replacing the full cream evaporated milk with coconut milk; the pandan and coconut combination is a beloved Asian pairing and the agar agar sets it just as firmly.
- For a festive layered variation, pour half the milky base into the mould, let it set, then fold the seedless grapes and longan into the remaining mixture and pour on top for a striking two-tone dessert.
