Ingredients
Method
- Bloom the Gelatin: Pour 1/2 cup of the cold whole milk into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Combine the Liquids: In your saucepan, combine the remaining milk, heavy cream, and sweetener. Set the heat to medium-low and warm the mixture to about 150°F (65°C).
- Dissolve the Sweetener: Whisk the mixture gently until the sweetener and salt have completely dissolved.
- Integrate the Gelatin: Add the bloomed gelatin mass to the warm milk mixture, stirring constantly until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
- Add Aromatics: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla bean paste.
- Strain and Pour: Pass the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher and pour into molds.
- The Setting Phase: Let the molds sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before refrigerating for 4 to 6 hours or ideally overnight.
- Unmold: If using silicone molds, gently pull the edges away to release the gelatin onto a plate.
Notes
Ensure precision in measuring ingredients to avoid a rubbery texture. Strain to remove undissolved granules for a smooth finish.
