Ingredients
Tangerines, peeled and sections separated
Kiwis, peeled and sliced
Persimmons, peeled and sliced
Grapefruit, peeled and sections separated
Apple, cored and chopped
Banana, peeled and sliced
8 g agar-agar
50 ml water
350 ml milk
200 grams condensed milk
200 grams sour cream or yogurt
Instructions
Prepare the Fruit
Arrange the sliced tangerines, kiwis, persimmons, grapefruit, apple, and banana in individual serving dishes or a large serving bowl.
Prepare the Agar-Agar Mixture
In a small saucepan, mix the agar-agar with 50 ml of water. Let it soak for about 3-5 minutes.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the agar-agar completely dissolves. Remove from heat.
Mix the Milk Mixture
In a separate saucepan, gently warm the milk and condensed milk together, just enough to integrate smoothly. Do not boil.
Once the milk is warm, stir in the dissolved agar-agar mixture. Mix well to ensure everything is fully combined.
Combine with Sour Cream or Yogurt
Remove the milk mixture from the heat. If using yogurt, ensure it’s at room temperature to prevent curdling. Mix the sour cream or yogurt into the milk mixture until smooth.
Assemble the Dessert
Pour the milk and yogurt mixture over the arranged fruits.
Let the dessert sit until it begins to firm up, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to fully set.
Serve
Once set, serve the dessert chilled. It can be garnished with additional fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
