Notes for Success
Sweetened condensed milk is a key ingredient for this recipe so if you cannot find any in the stores
You can easily make your own!
Combine 14ounces canned full fat coconut milk with 2/3 cup granulated sugar in a heavy bottom sauce pan and bring to a boil over high heat stirring often
Once it boils reduce heat to low, and simmer for 45-60 minutes stirring occasionally and watch it closely so it doesn’t burn or boil over
By the time 45 minutes approaches it should have reduced down to close to 1 or 1¼ cup total volume and starting to get very thick
It will thicken more as it cools. Cool completely then use it in your recipes!
White chocolate is another non negotiable here!
King David is my brand of choice *not sponsored but use whatever one you like the most!
Agar can be a tricky ingredient since a heavy hand, even a pinch too much can make a big difference!
Pay attention to the strength of agar you are using in comparison to the one that author of the recipe is using
I typically use 900 strength in my recipes SPECIFICALLY THIS BRAND BY Landor Trading Co *not sponsored

Notes
You will always need more than what is actually being adhered to your cakes since the excess must drip down & off the cakes.
Reuse the excess by scraping it up & storing only the clean portions in a clean container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator
