    So.. I didn't know if gelatin starts thickening while still warm. Asked my mom; she said: "it should become very firm while still warm, so you have to hurry up!". So naturally I dissolve the gelatin, nothing happens, I add more gelatin.. and more.. and more. Still quite liquidy, perhaps a tad thick but I said to myself nah I'm not gonna use 2 packets. So in total I added 1 whole packet to just 1 cup of cream. Only then I decide to see if my mother even knows what she's talking about. Anyways; I'll have a rock cotta for dessert tomorrow. Wish me luck

    Dude! Thank you so much for the tidbit of information about the fruit containing enzymes that break down the gelatin. I was on my 3rd Mango Pie and couldn't get it to set. I cooked the fresh mango puree and nectar & achieved a perfect set. Thanks Bro!

    thanks for the info! I've always been curious as to how much of powdered gelatin is needed per cup of liquid. and also, thanks for the info on the agar agar as vegan substitute. If I'm not mistaken, panna cotta uses gelatin while a flan/creme brulee uses eggs as setting agent, and another related dessert is the budino, which is thickened by cornstarch.

    I was looking forward to more detailed explanation of agar agar use, or maybe a side by side comparison of firmness and texture in this video - maybe in a follow up, or perhaps in a special series of episodes on vegan desserts?
    As far as I've heard, there's a few things to know about agar agar and its use:
    - agar agar comes in different forms, most commonly in the form of flakes (which are bulkier, and which seem to be featured in the video) and a powdered form
    - if measuring with teaspoons, pay attention to which type of agar (flakes or powder) you are using because 1 tsp of powder will give you a firmer set than 1 tsp of flakes
    - always mix agar agar into cold water, then bring to boil
    - agar agar flakes will need to boil for about 10 minutes to activate as opposed to powdered version that just needs a couple of minutes
    - agar agar firms at a higher temperature relative to gelatine which means it firms up at room temperature already (important to know if you were to, say, fold cool whipped soy cream in - you won't be getting a smooth consistency that way)
    - for vegan version of a panna cotta, coconut milk will probably be the best replacement of dairy because of the richness and creaminess
    - if using acidic fruits (as mentioned in the video), you can inactivate those enzymes by boiling the fruits first (before adding gelling agents)
    I've always found agar intimidating and I haven't got much personal experience to draw from, so let me know if you have spotted a myth of some kind - I'd appreciate additional information on it (as well as your experiences with it).

      Lol here in indonesia ppl rarely use gelatine because it's pretty hard to find at supermarket, plus the term of 'gelatine' were associated with 'pigs' , many ppl of Indonesians can't consume it because it forbidden in their religion, but it doesn't mean that gelatine were impossible to find here. Back to Agar agar, yes, it's seaweed based gelling agents. Based on my experience so far, agar agar needs more liquid than other gelling agents like jelly powder (e.g. jello), or it'll be too (idk, hard? Solid?). Agar agar doesn't really 'bouncy' as gelatine and sometimes, it became really fragile after it harden, and it's hard to achieve 'gummy' texture like gummy bear or any gummy candies out there. I don't know much about any agar agar brands other than Swallow, but you have to boil it. You can't just pour hot water into it. I don't know if this helpful and sorry for my bad English

      You need to heat the agar agar with your mixture until it's boiling. It's good with fruits and fruit juices since you can boil them without curdling the mixture. But in case of making panna cotta, it's best to stick to gelatin since you don't want to boil the cream mixture.

      Scd Observer my family and many families from my native uses Agar Agar leaves and we make puddings/Jellies with this ... It's so soothing for our body ... We make with Water and Milk (that's the usual stuff ) but we add couple of ingredients to make it tasty .. yu can try that ... I can suggest yu one with the water .. and measurements differs cuz I seriously Eye Ball as we know the result ...
      Boil agar agar and water untill it dissolves and then add sugar, melt that and then if u can add fresh Tender coconut water (it's awesome and it's optional ) and then few teaspoons of fresh lemon juice(its must) (maybe a half lemon) and if u have any Indian grocery store around yu and if yu can find KEWRA WATER add a splash or two (it's like Vannila to that dessert) if not jus skip it ...
      In milk version do the same boiling method (agar agar , Milk and sugar) and once all dissolves , add a teaspoon of rose water and then strain and pour over a glass or any serving bowl or jar to set .. refrigerate and enjoy eating them ...
      It's very simple to make ...
