Vanilla milk jellies

Preparation

Split the vanilla pods.

Method

1. 1 Soak the gelatine in cold water and leave to soften for 5 minutes.
2. 2 Meanwhile, put the milk, cream and sugar in a small saucepan and gently heat until the sugar dissolves – make sure it doesn’t boil.
3. 3 Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod into the pan and remove from the heat. (Keep the vanilla pod for decoration.)
4. 4 Squeeze the excess liquid from the gelatine and stir into the milk mixture until dissolved. Strain through a sieve and leave to cool.
5. 5 Divide between serving glasses, then chill for 240 minutes (4 hours) or overnight to set.
6. 6 Serve decorated with strips of the vanilla pod dipped in sugar.
