Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped)
  • 1 ½ tsp powdered gelatin
  • 2 tbsp cold water

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
  • Berry coulis or caramel sauce
  • Shaved chocolate or crushed nuts
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

Bloom the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it softens and blooms.

Heat the Cream Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Warm gently over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. Don’t let it boil—just heat until it begins to steam. Stir in vanilla extract or vanilla bean seeds.

Add the Gelatin: Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin. Mix until completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Pour and Chill: Divide the mixture evenly into 4 ramekins or dessert cups. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Serve and Garnish: Serve directly in the ramekins, or unmold by running a knife around the edges and flipping onto a plate. Add toppings of your choice before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a real vanilla bean.
  • To unmold easily, dip the ramekin bottom in warm water for 5–10 seconds.
  • Best enjoyed within 2–3 days of making.
