Low Carb Chinese Dessert - Almond Cream

Found this low carb chinese dessert and thought it sounded good!

Serving Size: 8
Preparation Time: 90 minutes

Ingredients:
1/2 cup splenda
1 stick agar*
1 cup water
1 3/4 cups half and half (50% water/cream)
1 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp vanilla
11 oz mandarin oranges, canned

Directions:
Soak the agar-agar in the water in a pot for 30 minutes, then bring to a boil and stir to dissolve. Add the milk and splenda and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often. Add the almond extract and vanilla. Pour into an 8 × 8" 200x200 pan and chill thoroughly in the refrigerator. Cut into triangles and serve with the Mandarin oranges.

*Agar-agar is a seaweed extract that can be found in featherweight rectangular sticks in Chinese markets. It functions like gelatin, albeit with somewhat more flavor interest.
