A smooth, indulgent dessert combining silky creaminess with rich coffee flavor, perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • ⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
  • 2 ½ teaspoons gelatin powder (unflavored)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) cold water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling 2 ½ teaspoons over ¼ cup (60 ml) cold water in a small bowl. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until spongy.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder. Warm over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until sugar and espresso dissolve and mixture is just about to simmer (do not boil), about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Whisk gently or strain through a fine mesh sieve if lumps appear.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Pour mixture into ramekins or serving glasses, leaving a little space at the top.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set but still slightly jiggly.
  7. Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or cocoa powder.

Notes

Do not boil the cream mixture to avoid curdling or gelatin losing its setting power. Bloom gelatin properly in cold water. For a richer coffee flavor, steep ground espresso beans in cream mixture before adding gelatin. To unmold, dip ramekins briefly in warm water and invert.
