Vanilla Cream Dessert (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1 tablespoon of unflavored powdered gelatin (0.25-ounce packet)
02 - 1/3 cup sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
04 - 2 cups thick cream
05 - 2 tablespoons ice-cold water
06 - 1 cup blend of cream and milk (half and half)

→ For Serving

07 - Fresh mint leaves (tiny ones)
08 - Raspberry topping or sauce

# Instructions:

01 - Stir the cold water and gelatin powder in a small bowl until it blends evenly. Give it time to rest so the gelatin can soften.
02 - Combine the heavy cream, sugar, and half and half in a big pan. Stir over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling (should be around 140°F).
03 - Take it off the heat and mix in the softened gelatin and vanilla. Stir continuously until everything melts together.
04 - Pour the mixture into eight ramekins (4 ounces each, around half a cup). Leave at room temp until cooled. Then cover and refrigerate overnight.
05 - To take out of the ramekins, slide a knife along the sides, dip the ramekins briefly in hot water, and flip them onto plates. Pair with mint and raspberry sauce.

# Notes:

01 - You can serve it directly in the ramekins or in clear glasses without removing.
02 - Instead of half and half, use 3/4 cup heavy cream mixed with 1/4 cup whole milk.
