Description

A delightful creamy dessert made with gelatin and cream.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 packet Knox unflavored gelatin (about 2 1/2 tsp)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium size sauce pan, over NO heat, add whole milk and evenly sprinkle on the packet of gelatin. Give it a small whisk and then let sit over no heat for 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk the milk and gelatin again and place pan over medium low heat for 5 minutes stirring occasionally. The milk mixture should start to steam but not boil.
  3. Add the heavy cream and slowly add the sugar while stirring. Cook another 5 minutes over medium low. You don’t want it to get to a boil, just get hot.
  4. Remove from heat and whisk in the softened cream cheese until completely dissolved. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Carefully pour the mixture into dessert glasses or ramekins. I used a small funnel to keep my glasses clean.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Before serving add favorite toppings like fresh berries, strawberry popping boba, salted caramel sauce, or chopped nuts.

Notes

  • Experiment with different toppings for variety.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
