Directions

  1. Soak the gelatin in cold water. ≈ 3 min
  2. Gently warm half of the cream with the vanilla seeds, sugar, and orange zest (if using).
  3. If you are using the mascarpone version, add it and allow it to melt gently. ≈ 3 min
  4. Add the empty vanilla pod to enhance the aroma. ≈ 3 min
  5. Never boil the cream, as this will cause it to lose its beautiful white color.
  6. Remove from heat, press out the gelatin, and incorporate it. Do not reheat the mixture after adding the gelatin. ≈ 4 min
  7. If you have used the vanilla pod, remove it. ≈ 3 min
  8. Let the mixture cool in a cold water bath, stirring gently, until it is lukewarm. Once it starts to thicken, gently fold in the remaining whipped cream.
  9. Pour servir, pour in individual ramekins and let them set for at least 4 to 5 hours in the refrigerator.
