to make vegetarian jelly teeth.

The recipe I'm going to use today is for rau câu

which is a Vietnamese coconut dessert

that's nice and jellied, but what's great

about this is it takes shapes really

well and it's completely vegetarian

because it uses agar-agar which is a

seaweed rather than gelatin. Oh! and if you like

All right, let's go in the kitchen and

I shall show you how to make this.

Okay, we're going to begin by adding a few

tablespoons of water to a bowl, and

then add your agar-agar. Mix this really well and

then add this to a saucepan.

Next we're gonna add our coconut milk; some water;

and some sugar.

And then bring this whole mixture to a

boil. And then we're gonna let this

simmer until all the agar-agar is

completely dissolved. And while we're

doing this we want to skim off the foam.

Here's the mold I'm using -- it's called

Frozen Smiles Made by Fred -- and the first

thing I did was take some of the just

plain white coconut mixture and used a

little pipette to pipe it into the

cavities of the teeth. So let the mixture

set up a little bit --

no need to refrigerate; just leave at

room temperature for about 15 minutes

and when it's a little bit firm, we're

ready to move on to the next color.

To make the gums, I just added one drop of

pink food coloring to some of the coconut mixture;

and then poured that right on top of the teeth.

Place these into the refrigerator until they're completely

set before un-molding.

So here are my chilled molds. So you can just pull at the sides....

and this should hopefully just pop out.

Yup, almost there. Let's get this last set out. Here we go!

Oh my gosh! Those are aMAzing!!

Look at the level of detail on those teeth!

I am so happy about how that turned out.

Dentist people, do -- this is the top, so what's

that called? the top palette? At any rate...

Itadakimasu!

Mmhmm! And it tastes pretty good --

just a touch of sweetness; great coconut flavor

and refreshing jelly coolness in your mouth.

I think this might be a little bit

difficult for some people to enjoy as

a desert because it's just so lightly

sweetened; but I love it. It's nice and cool and

refreshing and it definitely has a

different texture than a typical jelly.

So agar-agar is definitely more brittle

than gelatin, so it has a different texture

and mouthfeel in your mouth; but still

delicious. Great, as you can see, for

molding things like this!

All right, so that's it for this one.
