Description
A silky, no-bake Italian custard that’s surprisingly easy to make, offering a smooth texture and clean vanilla flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 teaspoons powdered gelatin
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.
- Gently heat heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract to 170–180°F—do not boil.
- Whisk the bloomed gelatin into the warm cream until fully dissolved.
- Strain the mixture into a pitcher.
- Pour into ramekins and chill for at least 4 hours.
Notes
For a boozy variation, consider adding Baileys Irish Cream. Use quality vanilla and full-fat dairy for the best texture.
