In this video, I share my edible jelly crystal Kohakutou recipe using natural food color and gel food paste. Here is the written recipe www.roxstarbak...
Part 2 of 2 of my edible jelly crystals recipe. Something that I always loved about these Asian treats growing up is that they are mild, sweet, crunchy on the outside and soft jelly on the inside. No mold required! Kohaku-tou translates to “amber sugar” but I’m sharing a multicolor / watermelon tourmaline treat. In Thailand, these desserts are called kanom woon grop! #jellycrystals #ediblecrystals #kohahutou

I am from the Philippines and I have tried making this using a non-refined agar. I noticed that when I started boiling my mixture, it slowly became jelly-like and it is already set in the process of simmering the mixture, absolutely the opposite of trying to melt everything. I use 1/2 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of agar, and 1 cup of sugar. I tried all the methods of mixing it with water before boiling it, dissolving the agar with cool water before turning on the heat, and adding the sugar. I was able to make it into a syrup liquid once but it did not set at all and ended up being taffy in the fridge. I used two different agar already but to no avail, I still failed. Is there any tips or anything you may recommend to help with this issue? TIA!

When I’ve done this only agar gives the crunchy texture outside with gummy texture inside. I’m sure doing it with gelatin would taste yummy it just wouldn’t be the same candy. If you try it and it turns out the same I’d love to know 😊
