  • 2 cups (500 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) chopped peanuts, for topping

Instructions

1. Bloom the gelatin

Place the gelatin powder in a small bowl and combine it with the cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so it can fully bloom.

2. Prepare the caramel

Add the sugar to a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Allow it to melt slowly without stirring until it becomes a golden amber color. Carefully pour in the milk while stirring, so the hardened caramel dissolves into the liquid.

3. Warm the cream mixture

To the caramel milk, add the heavy cream, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything well and gently heat until the mixture is warm. Do not let it boil.

4. Add the gelatin

Take the saucepan off the heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin and mix until it has completely melted into the caramel cream.

5. Strain and fill

For the smoothest texture, strain the mixture to remove any lumps. Pour the finished cream into individual serving glasses or dessert cups.

6. Chill until set

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the dessert is fully set and firm enough to serve.

7. Garnish and serve

Just before serving, sprinkle the top of each dessert with chopped peanuts for a delicious crunchy finish.

Serving Notes

This creamy caramel dessert delivers a beautiful balance of sweetness, richness, and nutty texture. Serve it well chilled and enjoy each spoonful of this smooth and satisfying treat.
