Ingredients:
- 400 ml heavy cream (nata para montar)
- 50 g sugar
- 120 g milk chocolate
- 5 sheets of gelatin
- Optional: Vanilla extract for flavoring
- Optional: Cocoa powder for decoration
Instructions:
- Begin by soaking the gelatin sheets in cold water for a few minutes until they become soft.
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract (if using). Heat the mixture over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling.
- Add the milk chocolate to the warm cream mixture, stirring continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Squeeze the excess water from the softened gelatin sheets and add them to the chocolate mixture. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is homogeneous.
- Pour the mixture into a mold or individual serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the dessert is set and firm.
- Once set, unmold the dessert (if in a single mold) or serve directly from the dishes. Dust with cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
