Description
A luxurious and versatile dessert that combines rich custard with whipped cream for a light, airy texture that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
- Prepare the custard: In a saucepan, heat the milk, sugar, and salt over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat.
- Temper the egg yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
- Thicken the mixture: Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon—around 5-7 minutes.
- Combine with gelatin: Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
- Cool down: Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Fold gently: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled custard until no white streaks remain.
- Mold it: Pour your beautiful mixture into molds or serving dishes.
- Chill: Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
