- 80 grams Heavy cream (dairy)
- 5 cm Vanilla beans
- Soak the gelatin in ice water.
- Whisk the double cream until it forms soft peaks and keep in the fridge.

- Combine the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl and mix well with a whisk.
- Gradually pour the vanilla milk (from Step 2) into the bowl little by little and stir.
- Once it's all mixed, return the mixture to the pan.

- Pour this mixture into a bowl while straining through a sieve (remove the pod).
- Chill the bowl over a bigger bowl with iced water and cool down the mixture as you stir.
- Continue until it's slightly thick.
- Add 1/3 of the heavy cream to the bowl and beat with a whisk.
- Add the remaining cream and mix well from the bottom with a rubber spatula.
- Pour into ramekins or glasses of your choice and refrigerate until firm.
- They're done!
