Ingredients
- 500 ml Dry white wine
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 6 sheets Gelatin sheets
- 50 ml Water
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 1 whole Vanilla bean
- 75 g Powdered sugar
- 150 ml Heavy cream
Directions
Step 1
Start by softening the gelatin sheets. Place them in a bowl with the 50 ml of water and let them soak for 5-10 minutes.
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, add the white wine and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is warm (do not boil).
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the softened gelatin sheets (including the soaking water). Mix until the gelatin is completely melted and incorporated.
Step 4
Pour the wine mixture into individual serving glasses or molds. Allow it to cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Step 5
To prepare the custard, start by splitting the vanilla bean lengthwise and scraping the seeds out with a knife.
Step 6
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat with the scraped vanilla bean and seeds. Bring it just to a simmer, then remove from heat and let it steep for 10 minutes.
Step 7
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and powdered sugar together until pale and creamy.
Step 8
Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Step 9
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (do not let it boil).
Step 10
Once thickened, strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or the vanilla pod. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming, and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 11
Just before serving, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and fold gently into the cooled custard for a lighter texture.
Step 12
To serve, spoon the custard over the chilled wine gelatin in the glasses or alongside the gelatin on a plate for an elegant presentation. Enjoy!
