๐ฉโ๐ณ Step-by-Step Cooking Journey
1. ๐ง Soften the gelatin
Put the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes. They will become soft and flexible.
๐ If you use agar-agar, skip this and add it later directly to the hot milk.
2. ๐ฅ Heat the base
In a saucepan, gently warm the milk and light cream with vanilla.
Add the agave syrup and stir.
โ ๏ธ Important: Do not let it boil โ you only need gentle heat.
3. โจ Add the magic thickener
With gelatin: squeeze out the water, stir into the hot milk until fully dissolved.
With agar-agar: whisk in the powder and let it simmer for 1โ2 minutes while stirring.
4. ๐ฎ Pour into molds
Carefully divide the mixture into ramekins or transparent glasses.
Let it cool a little at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours until firm.
5. ๐ Prepare the berry coulis
Blend the red berries with 1 tbsp agave syrup until smooth.
If you prefer a silky coulis, strain it to remove the seeds.
6. ๐ฟ Serve with style
