tips by ME:
- make sure your agar agar is really 'slightly cooled' before adding in the whip cream! else u might get a 'cappuccino effect' on your agar agar mixture =)
- somehow water tend to appear very quickly after the agar agar is done after refrigeration. my suggestion is reduce the amount of water slightly. i suspect its the cocoa and whipped cream
- the stiffer your whipped cream is, the more sticky and dry the texture of the agar agar will be ( something like an egg pudding) so its up to your personal taste.
great dessert i must say but definitely not going to make this all the time. enjoy! =)
