This is one of my favourite cold desserts. Served best when chilled. Excellent with fruits - strawberries, blackberries, blueberries etc. A bit of both pudding and mousse. But I would always add more sugar to the original recipe, and use the creamiest, yummiest whipping cream available for that rich and intense flavour.
There were 2 recipes - strawberry and vanilla cream. I made the latter coz I wanted the colours of the fruits to look strikingly lovely in each glass dish. And they do!
VANILLA CREAM
2 cups milk + 1 tsp vanilla essence
3/4 cup granulated sugar
6 egg yolks
salt
3 tbsp unflavoured gelatin dissolved in 90 ml water
2 cups heavy cream whipped to soft peaks with 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
- Mix sugar, yolks and salt in a saucepan over low heat till smooth.
- Gradually stir in milk, and then gelatin. Stir all the time until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.
- Transfer the bowl over ice to cool. As soon as it begins to set, fold in whip cream.
- At this point, fold chopped fruits into it and pour into mould.
- Otherwise, if serving in small glasses or bowls, pour sufficient amount of mixture and arrange cut fruits on it.
- Chill.
