I still have some purple sweet potatoes in my stock, I just want to experimenting, and cold Panna cotta sound delicious. What I experimenting here is vegan version, I replace Gelatine with agar powder. Agar powder is healthier from in my opinion, it made from seaweed, and flavourless, so it is easy to blend with other ingredient.

I called it pudding back in my home country, my kids favourite dessert. This experiment were quite hit, all family member are loving it, it is soft and smooth, not overly sweet as all my army loved.

You can find agar powder in asian grocery store or in any vegan healthy shop, it is more easier to become vegan these days, like myself I never thought that I will be this way few years back, it seem to me being vegan is extreme move, but with this easy and delicious outcome I am not resist, with support from my partner and my kids, also I am giving up to cooked any animal based ingredient to them since they will just left it out.

So lets have fun snacking, vamos vamos !!
