FAQs
1. Can I use gelatin instead of agar agar?
Yes, you can substitute gelatin for agar agar, but note that gelatin sets differently and may require adjustments in quantity and setting time.
2. What fruits work best for this recipe?
Soft fruits like strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, and peaches work wonderfully. Avoid overly juicy fruits like watermelon as they may release too much water.
3. Can I make this recipe vegan?
Absolutely! Use plant-based yogurt and replace milk with almond or oat milk.
4. How do I unmold the cake without breaking it?
Run a knife around the edges of the mold, then dip the bottom in warm water for a few seconds. Place a plate on top and flip it over gently.
5. Can I double the recipe for a larger crowd?
Yes, simply double the ingredients and use a larger mold. Ensure the refrigerator has enough space for chilling.
