Hi hoangtam,
I tried this recipe. I boiled 2 cups of water then add 10g agar-agar, then sugar. Low heat until everything dissolve. After I added this liquid into my 2 cups of milk (+ almond extract) little by little. Cool then fridge.
BUT after 8 hours in fridge, it was too liquid to unmold. Althought taste was GREAT! Can u help me with finding an explanation?
Thanks in advance,
Van
P.S: your blog is awesome!! I tried another recipe which worked 100% :D

Van,

Try increasing the agar agar to 12-15g. (agar agar differs by brand, some are 'weaker' then others thus, won't set). If your second attempt doesn't set you can always fix it by reboiling the pudding and add in more agar agar.

Just keep in mind, almond pudding should be soft and silky like dessert tofu. Adding too much agar agar will turn it into jello.
