Ingredients

  • 3 gelatin sheets
  • 55 g cream cheese (2 ounces)
  • 55 g milk (1/4 cup)
  • 55 g heavy cream (1/4 cup)
  • 25 g glucose (1 tablespoon)
  • 0.5 g kosher salt (1/8 teaspoon)

Method

  • Bloom the gelatin (see page 29).
  • Gently warm the cream cheese and milk in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • When the mixture is very warm to the touch and just beginning to steam, remove it from heat, whisk in the bloomed gelatin, and watch it dissolve fully.
  • Then whisk in the heavy cream, glucose, and salt.
  • Pour the contents of the pan into a deep round container (a plastic pint container works best) and leave it out on the counter while you gather your other elements to plate the dessert.
  • Powdered gelatin can be substituted for the sheet gelatin: use 1 1/2 teaspoons.
  • In a pinch, substitute 9 g (2 teaspoons) corn syrup for the glucose.
  • Instead of a whisk, use a hand blender to mix the cream cheese skin.
