Where to find ingredients
Find these ingredients at major local supermarkets such as Carrefour or Naivas. The dairy section will carry the heavy cream and coconut milk, while the baking aisle will stock the unflavored gelatin. If you cannot find pre-syruped prunes, you can substitute by simmering dried prunes in a simple sugar syrup until softened.
Preparation method
- Combine the condensed milk, heavy cream, and coconut milk in a blender and pulse until smooth.
- Dissolve the unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup of warm water and incorporate it into the blender mixture.
- Blend the mixture steadily for 5 to 8 minutes to ensure full aeration and emulsification.
- Lightly grease a mold with a neutral oil, pour in the mixture, and refrigerate for 4 hours.
- Once firm, carefully unmold and serve cold, topped with prunes in syrup.
