How to Make Polish Chocolate Cream Kisiel Czekoladowy Or Vanilla Cream
- **Melt Chocolate (Chocolate Version Only):** In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 4 ounces (113g) of semi-sweet chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat.
- **Cream Base:** In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups (473ml) heavy cream, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped). Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low.
- **Combine Chocolate (Chocolate Version Only):** Gently whisk the melted chocolate into the simmering cream mixture until completely combined and smooth.
- **Potato Flour Slurry:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons potato flour (or cornstarch) with 1/4 cup (60ml) cold milk until smooth. There should be no lumps.
- **Thicken the Cream:** Gradually whisk the potato flour mixture into the cream mixture. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
- **Remove Vanilla Bean (If Used):** If using a vanilla bean, remove it from the cream mixture.
- **Prepare Mold:** Rinse a 1-quart (1-liter) mold or bowl with cold water. Sprinkle the mold generously with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, rotating to coat the sides.
- **Chill & Set:** Pour the cream mixture into the prepared mold. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
- **Serve:** Unmold the chilled kisiel onto a serving plate. Garnish with whipped cream, fruit syrup, or fresh berries, if desired.
