The recipe uses agar, an ingredient I’ve found to be tricky in the past. Moreover, since I couldn’t find agar powder here in Toronto, I bought flakes and then ground them up myself in a coffee grinder. So I can’t vouch for results if you use regular agar powder or agar flakes.
After trying several brands of organic coconut milk and finally moving to conventional coconut milk, I found the only brand that seemed to work consistently was Rooster Gold Label brand (I know it’s available at all Loblaws stores, but have no idea about stores outside of Canada). I checked labels, and the brand I used contains a whopping 22% total fat content. I’d think that if you use a milk with a similar fat content, it should work just as well.
This is a very fussy recipe. You need to cook the mixture, blend it, cool it a bit, blend again, cool some more, then whip with electric beaters–not for the faint of heart. That said, once it’s whipped, it will retain its shape for several days.
If it doesn’t work out perfectly as a whipped topping, it is sensational to eat on its own–rich, smooth, not too sweet, and very creamy.
