Description
A rich and creamy dessert that impresses with its smooth texture and elegant presentation, perfect for any special occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream (Chilled for whipping.)
- 1/2 cup milk (Whole milk preferred.)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (Divided into two portions.)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (Pure vanilla extract for best flavor.)
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin (2 1/4 teaspoons) (For structure.)
- 1/4 cup cold water (For dissolving gelatin.)
- 4 large egg yolks (For custard base.)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, unflavored gelatin, cold water, and egg yolks.
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk and half of the sugar. Heat over medium heat until boiling, stirring occasionally.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until smooth and pale.
- Gradually add the hot milk to the egg mixture while whisking continuously. Then, return the mixture to the saucepan over low heat.
- Cook gently, stirring constantly, until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat, then stir in softened gelatin and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
- Let the custard cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into cooled custard until combined.
- Spoon the mixture into molds or individual serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
