Coconut Bunnies Agar Agar (Collaboration with Ayam Brand)

[Contest] Coconut Bunnies Agar Agar for Ah Bu’s belated birthday celebration 🎂
Didn’t celebrate my mum’s birthday, which was 2 weeks back as the kids were all having their examinations. Today we’re having a belated birthday celebration for her and made these bunnies agar agar with Ayam Brand coconut milk to give her a surprise! ☺️☺️ My ah bu is an expert in agar agar and she used to make these for our birthdays! First attempt on making these and based on my memory of how she made these before. 😅 hope she’ll like it!

Note: 
You will need 2 bunny mould and 2 heat-proof containers for grass and flowers.

Ingredient A (for bunnies' eyes, flowers and grass): 
  • 300ml water 
  • 2 pandan leaves (washed and tied into knots) 
  • 1.5 tbsp sugar
  • 0.5 tbsp agar agar powder
Ingredient B (for bunnies' bodies): 
  • 660ml Ayam Brand Super Light Coconut water (2 packets)
  • 2 tbsp agar agar powder
  • 3 tbsp sugar (2.5 tbsp for less sweet) 
  • 2 pandan leaves (washed and tied into knots) 
Instructions: 
  1. Prepare the ingredients A first. Boil water in a small pot with pandan leaves. 
  2. Once boiling, add sugar and agar agar powder. 
  3. Lower to a simmer and dissolved the powder and sugar. Off heat. 
  4. Scoop 2 tbsp agar agar water into small bowl. Add about 2 drops of red colouring and mix well for the bunnies' eyes. Use a tiny spoon and add to eyes of bunnies. Do for one eye first and allow it to set before doing the other eyes. Challenge here is to do fast as the agar agar mixture will solidify once it cools. You can heat up the mixture if it started to harden. 
  5. Divide the rest of the agar agar mixture into 2 heat-proof containers. Add green and orange colours into mixture for the flowers and grass. Mix well and allow mixture to cool down and solidify. 
  6. Chill in fridge after agar agar is set. 
  7. Prepare ingredients B. Add Ayam Brand coconut milk, pandan leaves, sugar and agar agar powder into a pot. Heat pot with medium heat. Stir and ensure powder and sugar dissolve completely. Allow coconut mixture to come to a gentle boil and simmer for 5 mins after it boils. Off heat. Wait for coconut mixture to cool down till its warm but not solidify yet. The reason for this is, if you pour the hot coconut mixture into mould, the agar agar for bunnies' eyes will melt from the heat. Once mixture is cooled enough, pour into mould and allow it to cooled further till it solidify and chill in fridge. 
  8. Remove green agar agar from container about an hour later and use a grater to shred into smaller pieces to make the grass patch. 
  9. Remove orange agar agar from container and use a cookie cutter to make flowers for the grass patch. 
  10. Assemble: gently remove bunnies from mould and place on plate. Add grass patch and flowers around the bunnies. Served cold from fridge.
