fruit puree

🥗Healthier: fresh fruit

💰Cheaper: canned fruit

Fresh fruit provides natural sweetness and flavor.

Pour the liquid cream and milk into a saucepan.

Split open the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds, and add both the seeds and the pod to the pan.

Add the sugar and cook on moderate heat until the sugar has dissolved, being careful not to let it boil.

Place the gelatin in a bowl of cold water to soften.

Once the sugar has completely dissolved, remove the pan from the heat.

Squeeze the excess water from the gelatin and mix it into the hot liquid until it has dissolved.

Leave the mixture to cool to room temperature.

Remove the vanilla pod.

Whip the extra cream until it just begins to form soft peaks.

Add it to the pan a little at a time, folding it in gently.

Pour the mixture into individual portions and place in the fridge to set for at least one night before serving.
