Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Unflavored gelatin
- 0.25 cups Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Crushed peppermint candies (optional)
- 6 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. This will allow the gelatin to fully hydrate.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Stir gently but continuously until the sugar dissolves and the cream is steaming hot, but not boiling. Remove the pan from the heat.
Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm cream mixture until fully dissolved and smooth.
Add the peppermint extract and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir to combine and adjust the flavor to taste by adding more peppermint extract if desired.
Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Let them cool slightly at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set and firm.
Optional: Just before serving, sprinkle the tops with crushed peppermint candies for a festive touch, and garnish each dessert with a fresh mint leaf.
