Instructions

Things You'll Need

• 1/4 cup of cold water
• 1 cup of whole milk
• 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1 envelope of powdered unflavored gelatin

1. Sprinkle your packet of unflavored gelatin over the water and let it stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat your milk to almost a simmer on your stovetop. Remove it from the heat.

2. Stir in the sugar, vanilla and salt with a wire whisk until it's dissolved all the way, which is about 2 minutes. Next, stir the mixture into the gelatin mixture and let it cool. Stir in your whipping cream, then cover it and refrigerate for 6 hours.
