  • Preparation: 275 min
  • Cooking: 5 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (204 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Gluten-free
  • Contains: alcohol, beef, dairy, egg, gelatin, pork

Ingredients

  • 80 g Milk, whole
  • 25 g Egg yolks, raw
  • 25 g Sugar
  • 3 g Gelatin
  • 60 g Cream, heavy
  • 1 g Vanilla extract
  • 10 g Water

Method

  1. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small bowl and leave to bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat the milk with the vanilla until steaming. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, then slowly whisk in the hot milk.
  3. Return the mixture to low heat and stir constantly for 4-5 minutes until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 82 °C (180 °F) — do not let it boil or it will curdle.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Strain into a bowl and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  5. Whip the cream to soft peaks and fold it gently into the cooled custard.
  6. Pour into a mold or glass and chill for at least 4 hours until fully set before serving.
