Ingredients
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 carton heavy cream
1 can coconut milk
1 packet unflavored powdered gelatin
1 carton heavy cream
1 can coconut milk
1 packet unflavored powdered gelatin
Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk and coconut milk in the baking aisle or the international section of most large grocery stores. Look for the canned coconut milk, not the thinner carton versions used for drinking. Heavy cream is available in the dairy aisle. Unflavored gelatin is typically found in the baking section near the pie fillings or puddings. For the prune syrup, check the dried fruit or canned fruit aisle; if you cannot find it, you can easily simmer pitted prunes with a little sugar and water until thickened.
Preparation method
- Combine the condensed milk, heavy cream, and coconut milk in your blender and pulse until smooth
- Dissolve the gelatin in 1/2 cup of warm water according to package instructions
- Pour the dissolved gelatin into the blender with the other ingredients
- Blend the mixture for about 5 to 8 minutes until it is fully incorporated and slightly aerated
- Lightly grease a decorative ring mold with a neutral oil, pour in the mixture, chill for 4 hours until set, then unmold and serve topped with a prune syrup
