After my first try at agar agar 'delights' I was left unsatisfied by the texture- yes they were delicious but they were missing something- I did a little experimenting and I think you'll find these are much closer to the original (and rosewater flavour!) I love the texture of these gorgeous sweets, they're not as sticky as some turkish delights can be but they're not too wet or jelly like like the ones I posted yesterday were. They're absolutely delicious- still sugar free and low cal so dig in! We are :) yum yum yum.
Vegan 'Turkish Delight'
2 tbsp arrowroot (or cornstarch or tapioca)
Makes 30 large or 40 small squares (total recipe= 112 calories so 2 or 3.7 cals per square)
2 tbsp agar agar
1.5 tbsp rosewater (get the good quality stuff!)
1 tsp cream of tatar
4 1/4 cups water
1 drop red food colouring (get a natural one)
10 tsp natvia (granulated stevia sweetener)
1 tbsp powdered stevia
Optional
Powdered natvia (or any sweetener)
- combine arrowroot, cream of tatar, agar agar & 1/4 cup water to make a slurry (make sure you get all the lumps out now!)
- combine all ingredients in a pot
- heat, stirring, for approximately 15 mins until thickened
- pour into moulds/container/lined baking tray
- set in fridge for 30 mins minimum
- cut into cubes
- leave uncovered for 24hrs in the fridge (optional but I think it's worth it to dry them out a bit)
- blend natvia in spice/coffee grinder to form powdered natvia
- dust over 'turkish' delights
- enjoy!
I hope you like these as much as I do, let me know if you try any variations so I can continue perfecting the recipe? Actually that goes for every recipe, I love constructive feedback (positive or negative) I think it helps us reflect and grow. Do you?
