Creamy Gelatin Dessert with Table Cream
This is the dessert that rescues a busy afternoon: three ingredients, one blender, and two hours of patience in the fridge. Flavored gelatin meets cold cream for a silky set somewhere between a flan and a mousse. At home it's the recipe for improvised Sunday lunches — the kids ask for it before it has even set.

Transfer the mixture to a blender, add the cream and blend for about 3 minutes, until smooth and slightly frothy.

Divide straight away into glasses or small bowls, before the mixture cools down.
- 4
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until firmly set, then decorate at the last moment and serve well chilled.
💡 Chef's Tip
The trick is to blend the gelatin mixture while it is still hot: it combines with the cold cream without clumping and traps a little air, which makes the set lighter. For a leaner version, swap the table cream for Greek yogurt. To unmold it, dip the ramekin briefly in warm water.
