  • Yield: 3 cups (approximately)
  • Ingredients
  • 1 (1/4-ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 1/2 cups whole buttermilk, divided
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

1.In a medium bowl, combine gelatin and 1/2 cup cold buttermilk. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes.
2.In a medium saucepan, combine remaining 1 cup buttermilk and sugars. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour a small amount of hot buttermilk mixture into gelatin mixture to soften, whisking well. Pour softened gelatin mixture into remaining hot buttermilk mixture, whisking well to remove any lumps. Pour into a bowl, and refrigerate, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes, or until mixture reaches room temperature.
3.In a large bowl, beat cream at high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold into room-temperature buttermilk mixture. Cover tightly, and refrigerate until set, 4 to 6 hours.
