Directions
- 1
Dissolve the gelatin in half a cup of warm water, stir well and let it sit for 2 minutes.
- 2
Make the caramel: combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat without stirring until it turns a deep amber colour.
- 3
Immediately pour the caramel into the mold, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Let it set.
- 4
Add the condensed milk, heavy cream, whole milk and dissolved gelatin to a blender.
- 5
Blend at high speed for 3 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
- 6
Gently pour the cream mixture over the set caramel in the mold.

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Run a knife along the edges, unmold onto a serving plate and serve chilled.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra-smooth texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring into the mold — it removes any air bubbles.
