Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 Tblsp sugar
  • 15 fresh mint leaves
  • several drops vanilla extract or fresh vanilla bean
  • 1 packet of gelatin
  • 5 Tblsp honey
Instructions
  1. Combine the cream, milk, sugar, mint and vanilla bean or extract in a small non-reactive saucepan and gently bring to a boil. Remove from heat as soon as it comes to a boil and let rest for 5 minutes, allowing the mint and vanilla bean to infuse.
  2. Meanwhile dissolve 1 packet of gelatin in 2 tablespoons warm water. Add to the milk mixture gently stirring to mix well. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve discarding the mint and any undissolved gelatin.
  3. Lightly grease 6 (2 oz.) ramekins or dariole molds. Pour the mixture into the molds and place in the refrigerator at least 4 hours until set completely.
  4. To serve, gently run a small knife around the edge of the mold. Hold the molds in a warm water bath briefly to ensure they are loose before turning onto a serving plate. Drizzle with honey and garnish with fresh mint.
