Thanksgiving Kanten

By mamamichellecoach

Seaweed for dessert? Heck Yes! This dessert uses the Japanese seaweed called kanten, better known as agar agar here in the US. It has zero calories, zero taste, and it is loaded with fiber. This combination uses pineapple and cranberry sauce for a Thanksgiving twist.

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons agar agar
• 3 cups cran-raspberry juice
• 1 can crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
• chopped walnuts, optional
