Honestly Mr Trichs that probably depends on how blazed you wanna get. The coconut cream is quite fatty and does not disrupt the gel. As long as it's largely water by mass and well emulsified before setting should be fine.
Note this is like very soft, um here we would call it jelly. I think in the usa it's maybe Jello? A dilute gelatine and sugar preparation. If you wanted to be able to pick it up/be more rough you may want to raise agar to ~0.5%?
It isn't chewy like a gelatine gummy.
I didn't really have a dosage/goal in mind, it was more curiosity about how fragile the mixture is.
That's what I was hoping! I was thinking this would be a fun medium to play with for making edibles for friends kind of like jello shots. Jello is something I always found interesting to look at and unpleasant to eat. The mouth feel really isn't my thing for whatever reason.
Does it hold up to some temperature fluctuation once it sets? I wonder if one could pull off a "liquid center" of concentrate...hmmm..... 🫠
I haven't characterised it but since it's agar that's making the basic gel it seems to still have that hysteresis. I just blasted some in the microwave till it felt hot (est 60 degrees?) and it stayed solid.
If you tried injecting a fluid into the middle it would probably tear, but if you set it around a form you could fill it. You might have problems getting a cap to stick to the hole opening though.
Hmmm... I wonder if it could be done with a modeling balloon to leave a minimal hole to the outside. Inflate the tip to the size of a marble or so and put it in the unset mix, then deflate and remove later for minimal exit wound? The viscosity of the concentrate can float around to make it easier to inject but hopefully unlikely to leak out. I'm going to have to find time to try this...
Yeah that would probably work!
