If you read my previous message, it really isn't
gelatin free.  It is just as easy to use, but it
takes just a tad longer to set.  You can also
make jigglers with it.  Also, with the DoFu
Delight, you add milk to it, which I hadn't
mentioned in my previous message.

You can get agar/gelatin desserts in your Asian
food sections or, if you have them, your Asian
food markets, which is where I get mine.
