When Anelore gave me this set of spoon I was a bit surprised by the 1/4 of teaspoon that came with it. I never saw a recipe using so few ingredient. Yesterday evening was the 1st time I used it.
On my way from lab to home are a few "organic shops" and I sometimes stop bye to buy some thing I cannot find easily elsewhere like tahina (to make hummus) and I usually use my visit to the shop to try some "exotic" things.
Last time I went there I bought 2 individual drinks : one made of rice, the second made of hazelnuts. I also took some agar-agar because I heard about it...
The idea to cook with agar-agar was strange since the only time I ever used it was in biology courses... For this second experimentation with agar-agar I thought I should use it to prepare a dessert in combination with the hazelnut drink.
Hazelnut surprise cream
Ingredients (for 2 desserts - yogourt size)
-20cl hazelnut drink
-1/4 teaspoon of agar agar (~1g)
The recipe was very simple : open the drink box, put it in a saucepan, add the agar and boil for 30s... that cannot be easier!
That wouldn't have been a real dessert : too pale, no surprises... so let's add a little fun to that cream.
I made 2 versions:
Apricot : cut into small squares 3 dryed apricot. Pour the liquid over it. Cool down for 2 hours.
Dulce de leche : spread 2 teaspoons of dulce de leche in a little pot, pour the hazelnut cream over it. Cool down for 2 hours.
As a toping I used grated almonds...
