Pour the almond milk into a saucepan. Scrape out the vanilla pod. Add the seeds and pod, a pinch of salt, and agar-agar to the almond milk and bring to a boil while stirring. Simmer for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the white chocolate until melted, and let cool for 10 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod. Season with cardamom, if desired. Fill into small serving molds and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours. Once the mixture has set, briefly run the molds, bottom side up, under hot water and turn out. For a vegan version, simply omit the chocolate and add an extra tablespoon of sugar, if desired. Homemade strawberry or rhubarb sauce goes well with this.
