KOHAKUTOU CRYSTAL GUMMY CANDY



Kohakutou Crystal Gummy Candy image

Kohakutou is a Japanese candy made from Agar Agar. It is made by pouring flavored jelly into a dish and allowing it to set before cutting or tearing into crystal shapes. The candy develops a crunchy outer crust after a few days but remains delightfully chewy inside.

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 grams agar agar ((telephone brand))
14 ounces cool water
24 ounces sugar
1/4 teaspoon candy flavoring
1/8 teaspoon citric acid (optional - adds a tart flavor )
3 drops liquid food coloring (I used Americolor airbrush color)

Steps:

  • Place cool water into a medium-sized saucepan
  • Sprinkle agar agar powder over the water and let it absorb for 5 minutes
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly with a spatula
  • Sprinkle in your sugar and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes
  • Remove from the heat and add in candy flavoring and citric acid
  • Pour the mixture into a heatproof, glass dish that has been lightly oiled to prevent sticking
  • Add a few drops of liquid food coloring on top and swirl with a toothpick. You can blend fully or leave it streaked
  • Place the container into the fridge for 2-3 hours until set
  • Remove the set gummy from the container and cut into crystal shapes using a sharp knife
  • Place the crystal gummies onto a parchment covered cookie sheet and let dry at room temperature for 2-3 days until a hard crust forms on the outside
