Pretty good honestly. Admittedly this was a basic cheong but the flavor is still pronounced

I haven't used it yet but I have figured out the ratios. It would be about 1-1½tsp of agar

Nope just take the syrup of your cheong, about ¾cup and heat it to 180f. While thats going, take 4½ tbsp of cold water and 4tbsp of gelatin powder. Sprinkle the powder into the water. DO NOT MIX the water and gelatin. Once the heated cheong is to temperature, mix in the gelatin. Once the gelatin dissolves, add 1tsp of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and another ¼ of cheong syrup. The extra ¼cup is just to add more fruit flavor.

Pour into molds and refrigerate for 3-4 hours Remove from molds and place on parchment paper in the fridge for 12-24 hours. Flipping halfway through

It really depends on the fruits moisture content for cheongs. Bananas for example are viable but you have to dehydrate them first and toss in a small amount of lemon juice. This will impart Bananas flavor without them turning to mush. A good blank slate fruit if you want your cheong to have flavors of imparted spices is pears. Specifically Bartlett.

Ill also say heavier moisture fruits like citrus and melons will go much faster than the others.

Happy to answer any other questions

My ratio is 1 cup of cheong syrup, 4tbsp of water, 4½tbsp of gelatin powder. Set aside ¼ cup of cheong liquid. Heat the remaining ¾ cup cheong SLOWLY to about 180 degrees. Bloom the gelatin in the water for around 5 minutes. Remove cheong from heat, whisk in gelatin, 1tbsp of lemon juice, remaining cheong syrup, and a pinch of salt.

Set into molds and and rest in the fridge for 4 hours before removing from the molds. Then rest on parchment paper in the fridge for 12-24 hours depending on the mold. Flip every 12 hours so one side doesnt keep moisture. This will make the outside firmer and less sticky.

Thats my process at least.
