Ingredients

80g Organic Australian Pumpkin
10g Agar Agar threads
400ml water
3 tbsp SN Organic Coconut Nectar Sugar
1/2 tbsp SN Organic Chia Seeds

In a saucepan, soak agar agar in 300ml water and set aside. This step helps to speed up the cooking process later.
Remove the skin and chop pumpkin into small chunks. Steam the pumpkin for approximately 10 minutes until soft.
Once done, add 100ml water to the steamed pumpkin and puree in a blender. Set aside.
Next, cook agar agar on medium heat until the agar agar threads has dissolved completely.
Once the agar agar has dissolved, add in the pumpkin puree mix and allow mixture to boil.
Then, lower the heat and in the toppings (goji berries and chia seeds). Mix well. Allow to cook for another minute before turning the heat off.
Lastly, transfer the mixture into the jelly moulds. Allow the agar agar to set completely (~1 to 2 hours), then transfer into the fridge. Best enjoyed while cold!
