Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • ½ cup cold water

  • 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin

  • 4 large egg yolks

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 2 cups milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups heavy cream

Directions

  1. Stir together cold water and gelatin in a small bowl; set aside to soften.

  2. Meanwhile, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl until smooth.

  3. Bring milk to a boil in a medium saucepan. Pour hot milk in a steady stream into yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return mixture to the saucepan; cook and stir over medium heat until custard thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Strain custard into a large bowl. Stir in softened gelatin and vanilla until gelatin is melted. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature.

  4. Whip heavy cream in a mixing bowl to medium stiffness. Fold into cooled custard and immediately pour into parfait glasses, molds, or onto cake layers before gelatin has time to set. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
