For Cream Layer

  1. In a sauce pan add the coconut milk and sugar, bring it to boil over medium heat. Boil for 3-4 minutes.
  2. Dissolve agar-agar in two tablespoons of luke warm water, add agar-agar and vanilla to coconut milk, boil for about 2 minutes, mixing continuously making sure there are no lumps. Turn off the heat.
  3. Whisk the milk for a few minutes and pour into the dish. Let this sit for about 25 minutes before adding the mango layer. Note: as coconut will cool it will be getting firm like jello, before adding the mango layer coconut layer should be firm but not settled all the way completely.

For Mango Layer

  1. In a sauce pan add the mango puree, sugar and lemon juice and bring it to boil over medium heat. Boil for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Dissolve agar-agar in two tablespoons of luke warm water, add agar-agar to the mango pulp, boil for about 2 minutes mixing continuously, making sure there are no lumps.
