Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 ml strong brewed coffee
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 100 g sugar
- 1 whole vanilla bean
- 5 sheets gelatin sheets
- 500 ml water (for softening the gelatin)
- 100 ml whipped cream (optional garnish)
- 2 tbsp finely grated dark chocolate (optional garnish)
Instructions
Place the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water (500 ml) and let them soak for about 5 minutes until softened.
In a medium saucepan, combine the brewed coffee, heavy cream, and sugar. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and add both the seeds and the pod to the saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has fully dissolved and it begins to steam—avoid boiling.
Remove the saucepan from heat and take out the vanilla pod. Squeeze the excess water from the softened gelatin sheets and whisk them into the hot coffee mixture until completely dissolved.
Let the mixture cool for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent skin from forming on top.
Divide the mixture evenly into four dessert glasses or ramekins. Cover each with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until the kaffeecreme is fully set and firm.
Before serving, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of finely grated dark chocolate, if desired.
