Vanilla dessert

Description

The recipe won't take much time. The vanilla dessert can be a mousse or jelly, but in my opinion, ice cream is the best option. You'll need heavy cream to prepare the vanilla dessert. By the way, you can substitute it with whipped cream, which also works well. Also, have ready 6 egg yolks, a vanilla bean, and vanilla extract (if you want a more intense vanilla flavor). Any berries of your choice can serve as a filling. Serve chilled.

Instructions

    First, beat the egg yolks and set them aside.

    Split the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds, chop them finely, add to the mixture along with the extract, and mix well. Refrigerate and let cool completely.

    While the vanilla mixture is cooling, prepare the berries. Place the blueberries in a saucepan, pour in the port wine, and add a quarter cup of sugar. Cook over low heat until almost all the wine has evaporated. Make sure all the berries are coated in sugar and do not burn.

    And so on until the end. Place in the freezer to set if you want to serve the dessert as ice cream. Or you can serve it immediately, simply chilled but not frozen.

    I especially love the finished vanilla dessert served frozen, and it can be served with fresh berries or chocolate.
