Instructions

In a saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat. Reducing the milk slightly concentrates its flavor and creates a richer pudding.
Whisk in the raspberry agar-agar and sugar until fully dissolved. Continue to simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This indicates the agar-agar has set.
Pour the thickened raspberry pudding into shot glasses, filling them about halfway. Allow the pudding to cool and set completely.
While the pudding sets, blend the black grapes until smooth. You can strain the mixture for a smoother texture if desired.
Once the raspberry pudding is firm, gently layer the black grape puree on top, filling the shot glasses. Top with a dollop of coconut cream and chill until ready to serve.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For a layered visual effect, let each component (grape puree, coconut cream, and raspberry china grass) set partially before adding the next layer to your shot glasses, creating beautiful stripes.
If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the black grape puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any seeds and skins before assembling the shots.
To make this dessert completely vegan, substitute dairy milk with almond or oat milk and ensure your coconut cream is dairy-free.
Garnish each shot with a few whole black grapes, a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes, or a small mint leaf for an elegant and aromatic finish.

Expert Tips

For a richer flavor, roast the black grapes before pureeing them. This will intensify their sweetness and add a subtle smoky note.
Adjust the sweetness of each layer to your liking. If the grapes are particularly tart, add a touch of sugar or agave nectar to the puree. Similarly, sweeten the coconut cream or china grass mixture if needed.
Experiment with different flavors of china grass. Strawberry, mango, or even plain agar-agar can be used to create unique flavor combinations.

Storage Instructions

Store these layered shots in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Cover them tightly with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out.
