Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 whole Vanilla bean
- 1 packet Unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 2 cups Mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Pour the cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over it. Let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape the seeds, and add both the seeds and the pod to the saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin to the mixture and whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pouring jug to remove the vanilla pod and any undissolved bits.
Divide the mixture evenly into 6 serving glasses or ramekins. Allow them to cool to room temperature before covering and refrigerating for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
While the vanilla creme is chilling, prepare the fresh berry jam. In a small saucepan, combine the mixed fresh berries, lemon juice, and powdered sugar.
Cook over medium heat, stirring and mashing the berries with the back of a spoon, until the mixture becomes thick and jam-like, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Once the vanilla creme has set, spoon the berry jam over the top of each serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy this luscious dessert!
