Coffee and Cream Agar Jelly (Thach Ca Phe)

[@kevinqueen6246]

I'm glad you posted this, my grandma use to make seven layer jello and no one has been able to successfully reproduce it. I'm sure I got it now, my family will be so thrilled!!!

[@RunAwayRice]

Glad to be of help. Grandma's seven layer jello sounds wonderful! Good Luck!

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi, the trick is to mix the agar agar powder with water and then let it rest for 15 minutes. Next bring it to a gentle boil, then simmer while stirring until it's completely dissolved. Avoid rapidly boiling it. Once the powder has completely dissolved you can add milk, juice, etc. This will prevent the gritty powdery texture you described above. Good luck!

[@windseyywoo]

i tried your recipe and it worked perfectly! i just added a but more water because i like it more jiggly

[@huongduong7041]

Love your voice, so soothing and your instructions, so clear and precise.

[@RunAwayRice]

So glad to hear you are giving the recipe a try. Please feel free to share your results. Good luck! :)

[@MaryGadsby]

I'm so excited to try to make this, thank you for such an informative and clear video! Also, your voice is so soothing, it was a pleasure to listen to you give instructions. My husband is going to love these!

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Jerre, glad to hear you like the format of my videos. Let me know how this dessert turns out for you. Good Luck!

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Charles, you can use milk or more half and half in place of the coconut cream. Add 1/4 cup. Good Luck!

[@smitabhat6023]

I tried this desert in Hongkong and my kids loved it, so happy to have found this recipe. Thank you for the detailed video.💜

[@RunAwayRice]

Smita Bhat Hi, you are very welcome. It's a really easy recipe and I hope you and your kids enjoy making it at home. Thank you for stopping by :)

[@RunAwayRice]

Awesome! Glad she liked the dessert and so sweet of you to make it for your gf :)

[@darylsalgado8187]

I love this recipe. I will definitely be making this for my family especially this Christmas.. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe to the public.. God bless 😃

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Daryl, I am glad you like the recipe and will make it for your family. I hope they enjoy this dessert for the holidays! Thank you for watching :)

[@alinale5398]

I'm 12 (I'm also Asian) and I made this for my family and they loved it thanks for sharing the recipe!

[@RunAwayRice]

Great job Alina! I am thrilled to hear you were successful and your family enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by! :)

[@theminiaturebaker]

Yes!! Been waiting for this from someone I trust with recipes! I tried 3 different agar jelly recipes and they were a huuuggee no no. Will make this tomorrow. Thanks!

[@sandserpent]

Did you make it?

[@bettyhe601]

My dad made this and he is a chef. Tasted great!

[@RunAwayRice]

This recipe must have been super easy for him then. I am glad your enjoyed it!

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi, half and half is a dairy product consisting of half light cream and half milk.

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Chris, the link is for Amazon in the US so shipping might be expensive. I checked amazon.ca and could not find the brand I use. If there's an Asian grocery store nearby, you may find it there. As a substitute you can use gelatin or konnyaku jelly. Good luck!

[@hermanhelmich]

Looks great Sounds even better: what a nice and gentle voice

[@RunAwayRice]

Thanks Herman. I hope you make this dessert to enjoy!

[@danganhthu]

I'm very familiar with this recipe but as I watched this video, I fell in love with your voice :)) so soft and inspiring that I had to replay twice :D

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi, you are very sweet. Thank you for watching the video even though you already know this recipe. I hope you'll find another recipe on my channel you will want to try. Happy Cooking :)

[@neogeo8267]

Let your coconut milk can sit for a while to let it settle, then place in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes (no longer) and then open. The cream will have solidified and you won't get and of the clear milk part (keto trick)

[@RunAwayRice]

Love the trick! Thanks for sharing!

[@RunAwayRice]

The agar agar powder I use is a Thai brand so you can go to Thai Town in East Hollywood and buy in the grocery stores there. Little Saigon in Westminster sells it and they usually stock them right by the cash registers. Also check out, the grocery chain 99 Ranch. As a last resort, buy from Amazon. I can send you a link. Good Luck!

[@faithpurkis9439]

Looks great and easy to make, I will certainly love to make it. Thanks for sharing.

[@DustinCobwebs]

So-o NICE to listen to your recipe & instructions without music thumping in the background

[@RunAwayRice]

Thanks Dustin, I love music but it's tough to find something everyone enjoys so I only use it sparingly. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing your comments.

[@RunAwayRice]

[@bharathysatyamoorthy6763]

Hi the recipe looks yummy..want to give it a try ..one question if we dont get coconut cream ...can we use coconut milk powder creamed with cold water.

[@RunAwayRice]

Yes, this would be just fine. Enjoy the recipe!

[@NicolePhim-CookingandTravel]

Thank you so much for your recipe, I used to buy this jelly from market and so delicious 😋 I will make it.

[@neogeo8267]

You can use a souffle torch to burst the bubbles, just be gentile from a bit of distance.

[@RunAwayRice]

Oh boy! That sounds like fun! :)

[@RunAwayRice]

bernardo cimatu Hi, yes you can substitute the coconut milk for milk. It'll be delicious! :)

[@Drajessicahiromi]

[@RunAwayRice]

jessica hiromi Yes, espresso would be wonderful and work great in this recipe.

[@Drajessicahiromi]

thank you! :3

[@vugsh]

You have a very lovely speaking voice

[@RunAwayRice]

Thank you Kevin. You are very kind. :)

[@ionlydateunicorns3767]

Great recipe. Is there a way to help make the layers set evenly? Mine was setting from the outside in, making the corners not stick as well, and the middle was mixing with the other layers :I

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi! The only thing I can think of is perhaps you're pouring the outside thinner than the middle so you may want to measure it out in tablespoons. Also check to make sure your dish is level. Fill it with water and then measure the depth at the corners and then at the center to make sure it's even. Try starting the liquid in the middle first and then work your way to the edge of the pan. Good Luck and I hope it works out for you.

[@ladauphine2837]

Beautiful and perfect. I love it. Thanks for the tips.

[@RunAwayRice]

Enjoy the recipe!

[@ladauphine2837]

I'll. Thanks.

[@julievietnam02]

Thank you Trang so much of your wonderful recipe, I tried out the sponge cake its was so yummy, and now I will try this coffee and cream agar jelly. Keep it up. I love your show.....

[@RunAwayRice]

Glad you're enjoying the recipes. Let me know how this turns out for you :) Happy Cooking!

[@Angela-xk2jy]

You have a very soothing voice :D Anyway, I wish agar agar powder is available around my place because it looks firmer than regular gelatin. Oh well...Thank you for making this video! :)

[@Dojan5]

You can easily buy it on eBay. I've only found it in special health-foods shops here, and it's way more expensive here than if I am to import it from e.g. South Korea.

[@Angela-xk2jy]

Thanks! :)

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Angela, agar agar is firmer than gelatin and has a certain crunch to it. I am not sure where you live but if you can't find agar agar in the stores or online, gelatin or Konnyaku powder (made from a type of potato) are good substitutes. Good Luck!

[@kostasfoodsecrets8292]

Desert that has coffee in it is awesome!

[@crisbosh3562]

cool, ill try this on xmas.. i taste it when im in malaysia its delicious

[@RunAwayRice]

Replacing the sugar with Stevia and the 1/2 ad 1/2 with full cream would make this Keto friendly (going to try - thanks!)

[@RunAwayRice]

Thank you for sharing the Keto friendly version. :)

Thanks! Hope you'll give the recipe a try. :)

[@TheUltimatejo18]

[@navinrk009]

Hi, thank u for video ..plz to tell how long can be store this at room temperature as well as in refrigerator .

[@RunAwayRice]

Store a room temperature for the day. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy!

[@navinrk009]

Thank u

[@rina2012ful]

You have a soothing voice!

[@RunAwayRice]

Thank you so much!

[@alyssamae5630]

Hello, I was wondering if we could use the coconut cream instead of coconut milk, since I heard you say coconut cream and it was written as well so I bought it, but then I realized you used milk? Is it the same thing?

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Alyssa, I take a can of coconut milk and then just scoop off the cream from the top. The cream is the thicker portion of the coconut milk. If you are able to buy just coconut cream without the milk, that's perfect! Let me know if you have any questions. :)

[@RunAwayRice]

I have another recipe in the works so please stay tuned! Thanks!

[@Mustanggirlie1121]

How many grams is that one packet of agar agar? Because I buy in bulk so I need to measure out exactly. Thank you so much this is an awesome video!!!

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Elizabeth, the packet of agar agar is 25 grams. I hope this dessert turns out beautifully for you. Good Luck!

[@renprime7343]

I love dessert and your voice!

[@zarabees2123]

Very beautiful indeed. But if I want to make just a plain jelly, do I use the same measure as to 5 and a quarter cups of water with just 2 table spoons of Aga Agar powder? Will it set well? I know very well how to make jelly using the straws one but I have never used the powder. A friend gave me about 10 sachets of powder since she does not know how to use them. So I am stuck too, so I need your advice please. Many thanks.

[@thormya]

I am new to your channel but I love your cooking style n food.

[@RunAwayRice]

Thanks so much! I hope you find a recipe you like here. Happy Cooking!

[@zarabees2123]

We make the jelly using the straws then once set, we grate them and add to milk shake with basil seed previously soak in water. This is very very nice indeed.

[@RunAwayRice]

That sounds so delicious! I was thinking about sharing a recipe like what you described 😃

[@LinhNguyen-hn1yg]

I love your shows a lot.Thanks

[@RunAwayRice]

I appreciate that! Thank you for watching :)

[@cynv4330]

Wow that looks Delicious I'm gonna try it out later hope this works

[@RunAwayRice]

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions. :)

[@dmitrivalencia]

how long should I cool the coconut cream after pouring the coffee mixture in the glass pan? is it the same with the coffee?

[@RunAwayRice]

The coconut layer and coffee layer set in about the same amount of time, approximately 3 minutes.

[@dmitrivalencia]

ok thank you! will try this for mother days for my mom

[@RunAwayRice]

dmitrivalencia That's so sweet. I hope she enjoys it!

[@mariavictoriaatazan8836]

Thank you for replying my question..so in that case ..can i use gelatin instead using of agar agar...? Thanks again..

[@RunAwayRice]

maria victoria atazan Yes, you can use gelatin, just follow the directions for preparing the gelatin and allowing it to set. Good Luck!

[@mariavictoriaatazan8836]

Thank you again...i want to try this weekend...♥

[@RunAwayRice]

Hello Lulu, the bang sua half and half hoac sua lowfat milk.

[@asmazameer4059]

Loved this recipe 😍 I personally think your voice is beautiful!!! ❤ Although my kids thought I was watching a Horror film 🙈

[@RunAwayRice]

That's pretty funny! Glad you liked the recipe! :)

[@queenbee7855]

I tried it today it turned out well,but 1 thing i have to say,at the corners it did not stick other than that it was good.

[@RunAwayRice]

I am glad you liked the recipe. Timing the layers so it's still sticky but set enough to hold the next layer is tricky. I hope when you make your next one it will be perfect! Thanks for sharing your results :)

[@teeceechau3220]

trying this right away, let's see how it turns out

[@RunAwayRice]

TeeCee Chau How did it turn out for you?

[@teeceechau3220]

Was pretty good actually. I found it time consuming though, I mean it kinda sets fast but it does take a while if you are just going to stay there and wait for it to set. Also, I left both coffee and cream jelly on simmer but although I gave it a quick stir before pouring it, you would still see some chunk of jelly towards the last layers. Jelly was light, not too sweet which I like. My gf and my 2 guests seem to enjoy it. Thanks again for the recipe!

[@RunAwayRice]

TeeCee Chau Hi, I am glad you and your guests enjoyed the recipe. Yes, it does take some time to pour all the layers. You can do a shortcut and swirl the coffee and cream together and make a marbled dessert. It's just as good and much faster to make. Thanks for trying the recipe and sharing your results :)

[@julieanneserwelas7000]

Amazing! I can't wait to try this one. thanks for sharing your video. :)

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi glad to hear you'll give this recipe a try. Please see me website for additional tips. Let me know how it turns out for you! Good luck!

[@lonnekemichielsen7547]

Hi, I would like to try this recipe. But is it possible to use baileys for the cream layer?

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Lonneke, this would work. You can also mix the Baileys with half and half as well.

[@christimcclure116]

Looks beautiful and sounds yummy! I do have a few questions: First, I'm lactose intolerant, is there something I can substitute for half and half? Second, I have a favorite coffee that I'd like to use, but it's not instant. Is instant a must in this recipe? If so, what do suggest?

[@RunAwayRice]

+Christi McClure Hi, feel free to substitute with any nut milk--coconut, almond or use rice or soy milk. Good Luck!

[@RunAwayRice]

+CT2507 Thank you for your kind words and the subscription. Sounds like you love to experiment with foods just like me.

where can we find ager ager powder? If we cant find that is it possible to use jelatine?. Really beautiful desserts.

[@RunAwayRice]

[@debbykeegan5549]

Can you use a sugar substitute such as stevia?

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Debby, I believe stevia is heat stable so will work in this dessert. Enjoy the recipe!

[@suzaraalicia227]

[@almomina391]

Hi, i mean to say milk splits when i add mango pulp along wid agar agar i mean the texture of the pudding gets spoiled...

[@RunAwayRice]

Nusrat Anjum Hi, if you are combining the milk with the mango pulp, you need to puree everything so it doesn't separate. I hope that helps.

[@6aznangel]

Hi, just wondering if you can substitute the coffee with Tea?

[@RunAwayRice]

I've made this with jasmine green tea and it's really refreshing. I'd definitely recommend trying with tea. Enjoy!

[@CT2507]

[@stephkokomo2641]

Hello! I love this recipe! I was wondering what would be a good substitution for the half and half? I'm lactose intolerant :/

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Steph, you can substitute half and half with almond, soy or use more coconut milk. I hope that helps :)

[@stephkokomo2641]

Thank you!

[@rooweiner9241]

Great recipe. I tried to duplicate and my efforts fell short. Taste delicious, but my layers did not congeal together and separated when I went to serve. Do you have any suggestions please. Thank you.

[@RunAwayRice]

This happened to me the first time I made this dessert too. The timing is sensitive. The existing layer should still be sticky when you pour the next layer onto it. Keeping the mixture warm helps to "glue" the layers together as well. Keep trying! :)

[@Rari1022]

That is so gorgeous, I am totally making this today :) Great channel!

[@sekanstar3243]

The water when you first put the agar agar in to rest for 15 minutes, does that have to be ice cold water or just regular temperature will do?

[@RunAwayRice]

Just room temperature water.

[@DrumFattayDrum]

crikey. what a beauty

[@queenbee7855]

My 2nd try nd it was perfect.

[@RunAwayRice]

Nice job! Glad you were successful the second time around :)

Im allergic to coconut. Is there something I could substitute?

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Catherine, poor you...there are so many Viet desserts that have coconut :( You can substitute with regular milk, soy milk or almond milk. I've used soy and almond milk and both are delicious. Hope that helps!

Hi Loliedee, yes you can use Gulaman Powder. It's another name for Agar-Agar powder. I hope the recipe turns out wonderfully for you!
