Ingredients

1 vanilla bean
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon powdered gelatin
3 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup sugar
5 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups whipped cream
6 sliced strawberries

Directions

Put the split vanilla bean in cream and slowly bring to a boil. Turn off heat and let sit for 1 hour.

Remove bean and scrape out seeds, add them to the cream and discard the pod. Sprinkle the gelatin into the milk and set aside.

Whisk the sugar and egg yolks together. Warm the cream mixture back up and slowly whisk into eggs. Place mixture over simmering water and stir until it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooded spoon. Remove from heat and add milk and gelatin mixture.

Place bowl in ice bath and stir until at room temperature.

Fold in whipped cream and pour mixture into 6 (6-ounce) ramekins. Place in refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours or until mixture is set. Remove from molds and garnish with strawberries.

Good Recipe, Small Portions
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The taste is really good. The real vanilla bean adds a lot to the flavor. The only complaint / recommendation is that this... recipe isn't really enough for 6 people. It's good enough for 4 at the most. I served it with a bit of fruit, and found that it really complements it well. Besides strawberries, also add some blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. When doing the final stage of the recipe, (mixing it with the milk/gelatin mix on top of the ice ice bath) don't let it cool down too much, because then the gelatin begins to harden, and it's harder to make it fit the mold elegantly. In fact, I would recommend that the mixture be poured into the molds while still warm. Enjoy! Read more
