Strawberry Kiwi Agar Agar – Icy Cold Fun Desserts for Your Brunch Crunch!

Summer is coming with all the fresh and delicious fruits, which ones might end up with having too many. That was the case with my family backyard filled with strawberries batches. Thus, finding a new way of serving is the usual scenarios, in this case, strawberry kiwi agar agar, a fun dessert with velvety colors that any kids would be excited about.

I love desserts that are sweet enough, but not overpower with a little hint of sourness. Making Agar at home fit my bill better, since it cheap, fast, beauty and I could control the sweetness level myself.  Since I will be using ripe strawberries, it’s better to pick not too ripe Kiwi, one that still have some tangy in there.

Agar, when at right concentration can be brunch crunch, if you like them soft, add more water. If you like your thick and hard, reduce liquid. Since I will be using them to contain fruits, there’s no need for additional flavor, but you could always add some extract in there.

Agar tastes best when cold, so make sure to keep them chilled before served for at least 2 hours. These can be kept in fridge for a couple days up to a week. Just make sure you wrap them up nicely.
