Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 envelope (about 2 1/4 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup cold water

Instructions

  1. Combine the milk and half the sugar in a saucepan; heat until warm.
  2. Whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until thick.
  3. Slowly add the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  4. Return to the saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let it soften. Then heat until dissolved and stir into the cream mixture.
  7. Whip heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
  8. Fold the whipped cream into the cooled custard until fully incorporated.
  9. Pour into molds or serving dishes and refrigerate until set, approximately 240 minutes.
  10. Serve chilled, either plain or as a filling for cakes, pies, or trifles.

Notes

Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved and watch the custard while cooking to prevent scrambling. Chill the mixture completely before folding in the cream for the best texture.
