Crema Diplomatica

Ingredients

300 g Fresh liquid cream

200 g High quality whole milk

40 g Yolks (about 3)

40 g Sugar

15 g Corn starch (cornstarch)

7 g Gelatin in sheets

Put a bowl in the freezer and let it cool completely, then put the gelatin to soak in cold water.
Heat the milk until it reaches a boil.
Meanwhile, in another pan pour the egg yolks, sugar, corn starch and mix with a whisk until the mixture is smooth. When the milk starts to boil, pour 1/3 of it into the yolk mixture and mix. Pour the remaining milk in two more times. Return to the heat, stirring continuously for a few minutes until the cream has thickened.

Take the bowl from the freezer and pour the cream inside; before mixing, add the drained gelatin and stir quickly to dissolve it and at the same time allow the cream to cool. When the cream is no longer hot, transfer it to the refrigerator.

Meanwhile, whip the cream.
Add the cream, always mixing with a hand whisk.
