- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 vanilla bean
- 1 1/4 cups whipping cream
- 5 sheets gelatine
- 1 1/2 cups mixed berries
Directions
- In a sauce pot heat the cream, sugar, and vanilla to a simmer. Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes, then wring out the excess water and whisk into the hot cream. Remove from heat. Allow to cool in fridge until room temperature (around 30 minutes).
- Fold in whipped cream and pour mixture into 6 ramekins. Allow to set overnight in fridge.
- Take a paring knife and cut around the outer edge of ramekin. Turn ramekin upside down and shake until custard drops onto your hand. Place on a plate and serve with your favourite berries.
