Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 pod vanilla bean split and seeds scraped
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Fine Mesh Strainer
  • Ramekins or Serving Glasses
  • Blender or Food Processor

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves without boiling.
  3. Once the cream mixture is warm, remove from heat and add the bloomed gelatin, stirring until completely dissolved.
  4. Strain the mixture into ramekins or glasses to catch any stray vanilla bean bits. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. In a blender, combine the berries, honey, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, then strain to remove seeds if desired.
  6. Serve chilled, topped with the berry sauce.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream in place of heavy cream. Substitute the vanilla bean with 1 tsp pure vanilla extract if unavailable. Berries can be replaced with tropical fruits like mango or peaches for a different flavor profile. Ensure to strain the cream mixture for a smooth texture and check the gelatin’s expiration for optimal results. This dessert can be made a day in advance for convenience, and it stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
