You’ll require a robust blender or food processor capable of tackling the key components.
Layering the cheese: Add the cheese components in sequence to ensure a watery foundation at both the base and peak of the mixture. Adding this step allows the mixture to begin processing efficiently.
Combine the ingredients to achieve a silky, uniform blend of creamy cheese. Add a pinch of flair?
Set the cheese mixture aside to rest for a few minutes as you proceed with preparing the agar agar.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine equal parts of warm water and agar agar powder to initiate the gelation process.
As the mixture reaches a rolling boil, maintain a vigorous stirring motion to prevent scorching; once the temperature subsides, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and continue stirring with persistence until the desired viscous, molasses-like texture is achieved.
Immediately pouring the agar agar mixture into the cheese mixture in your blender or processor, blend for approximately 30 seconds to guarantee a homogeneous consistency.
Place the blend into your preferred cheese shape(s).
Carefully settle the mixture into each mold to achieve a uniformly flat top surface. This technique helps the cheese to lay flat when turned out, ensuring a neat presentation. If needed, utilize a spatula to evenly distribute the cheese mixture.
Carefully place your molded cheeses into the refrigerator for a period of roughly thirty minutes to allow them to set, before gently turning them out onto your preferred serving plate.
