Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 150 ml Heavy cream
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Almond extract
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 10 g Powdered gelatin
- 3 tbsp Cold water
- 300 g Blueberries
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 50 g Granulated sugar (for sauce)
- 2 tbsp Water (for sauce)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for 5-7 minutes.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved but do not let the mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the almond extract and vanilla extract.
Once the milk mixture has slightly cooled (but is still warm), stir in the bloomed gelatin until it is fully dissolved.
Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes or a single larger dish. Let it cool to room temperature before covering and refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or until set.
To prepare the blueberry sauce, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and 2 tbsp of water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the mixture until the blueberries begin to break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally, gently mashing the blueberries with the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
When ready to serve, spoon the cooled blueberry sauce over the chilled almond cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!
