These are lovely made with UHT cream

or, of course whipping cream.

Light milk works well.

1. 1 and 1/2 cups milk
2. 3 teaspns gelatine
3. 1 and 1/2 cups cream
4. 1/4 cup caster sugar or alternative sweetener.
5. 1 teaspn vanilla essence or almond or rosewater essence.                             

Using a light oil spray, smear lightly around the inside of small moulds or bowls.

• Place 3 Tblspns of the milk in a small dish.
• Sprinkle gelatine [powdered] on top.
• Put the remaining milk, cream and sugar in a pan on low heat, stir till nearly boiling.
• Remove from the heat, whisk in the softened gelatine, add the essence.
• Pour the mix into the moulds.
• Chill about 4 hours or overnight.
• Turn out by sliding a knife around the edge of the moulds and loosening.

Serve with a berry coulis, or berries in a little juice, or fresh strawberries that have been cut up and sprinkled with a little icing sugar, covered and left for a couple of hours to produce juice. Rhubarb is nice too, sweetened with honey or passionfruit pulp from a tin or a fruit.

             Serve with a little light cream or Greek yoghurt and cream combined.
