Cocoa/Coconut Agar Agar

Never tried this recipe before but just had to experiment with it (lol).
I used the swallow brand agar agar powder. Just follow the instructions behind and just add cocoa and coconut to it. To be frank, I still prefer the plain agar agar with coconut layer. Will do it the next time. But I am very happy both layers managed to stick to each other.
Ingredients
Coconut Layer

1/2 packet of agar agar powder (white colour)
500 ml of water
125 gm of sugar
100 ml of coconut milk

Cocoa Layer

1/2 packet of agar agar powder (white colour)
500 ml of water
125 gm of sugar
3 tbsp of cocoa powder

Method

Coconut Layer

1. Boil agar agar powder, sugar and water together.
2. When dissolved, add coconut milk and let it boil.
3. Let it cool and pour into mould and let it set.
4. Allow to set, then lightly scratch surface with fork.

Cocoa Layer

1. Boil agar agar powder, sugar and water together.
2. When dissolved, add cocoa powder (1 tbsp at a time).
3. Let it boil and cool and pour over the coconut layer.

Note: You can boil the cocoa layer first instead of the coconut layer. Can also replace cocoa powder with milo or coffee or just plain old agar agar (lol).
