Luxurious Vanilla Milk Blancmange

1. 1

   Soak the gelatin in water.

2. 2

   Use the microwave or a hot water bath to completely dissolve the gelatin.

3. 3

   Heat milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and the vanilla beans in a pot.

4. 4

   When it starts to boil around the edges, remove from heat, add gelatin, and mix.

5. 5

   Strain into a bowl.

6. 6

   The vanilla beans are likely to sink to the bottom, so put the bowl into another bowl with cold water (ice water) to chill while it thickens.

7. 7

   Pour into jars and refrigerate until firm.

8. 8

   (It takes awhile to set, so you might want to make it the day before).

9. 9

   Done... topping it with whipped cream is delicious too.

10. 10

    Here I made blancmange in heart-shaped cups.
