Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Shake the can of coconut milk well to make sure the contents are mixed.

  1. Add 120 mL of the coconut milk to a saucepan and whisk in the agar-agar. Bring to a boil on medium-low heat while stirring.

  1. Meanwhile, add all the remaining ingredients and the remaining 115 mL coconut milk to the blender or food processor. Blend the mixture to obtain a smooth homogeneous cream - blending for about 3- 5 min. Reserve.

  1. Once the coconut milk and the agar-agar mixture is boiling, let it simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes, whisking almost constantly.
  1. Pour the almond-coconut mixture into the saucepan and combine it well, using a whisk. Let it cool down.
  1. Transfer the mascarpone to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving.

  1. Store the contents in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to 4 days.
