Zubereitung von Spanish Cream
- In the top of a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water), combine ⅓ cup sugar and gelatin. Ensure the bottom of the double boiler does not touch the water.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until the sugar and gelatin are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened. Temper the yolks by slowly whisking in a small amount of the hot milk mixture. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
- Gradually pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the remaining milk mixture in the double boiler. Cook, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (about 3-5 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure a perfectly smooth texture.
- Pour the custard into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate until the mixture mounds slightly when a spoonful is lifted (about 2-3 hours).
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining ⅓ cup sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold the chilled custard into the whipped egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Spoon the Spanish Cream into 6 goblets or dessert glasses. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- Before serving, garnish with your desired topping, such as fresh berries, chocolate sauce, or butterscotch sauce.
