Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.3333 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons fruit purée or jam (optional for flavor)
Instructions
Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a small saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot milk and whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Reduce the heat to low and mix in the sugar, stirring until it dissolves completely. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the milk mixture until fully combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract and optional fruit purée or jam for added flavor, if desired.
Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or a large serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve chilled and garnish with fresh fruit, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of fruit syrup, if desired.
