The flavours of Christmas in a glass. Cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and anise bring warmth to the cool cream. This dessert is like eating a creamy gingerbread biscuit. Using honey instead of (or alongside) sugar adds a special floral aroma and makes the texture silkier.

Instructions

1 ✓

Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water.

Tip: 5-10 minutes.
2 ✓

Heat the cream with the sugar, spice mix, and vanilla pod.

Tip: The warm cream 'opens up' the spices.
3 ✓

When it's steaming, stir in the honey. Do not boil the honey for long to preserve its flavour.

Tip: Honey can caramelise if overheated.
4 ✓

Remove from the heat and dissolve the squeezed-out gelatine in it.

Tip: Stir until smooth.
5 ✓

If the spice grains bother you, strain it, but you can leave them in for a rustic effect. Pour into glasses.

Tip: Spices may settle, so give it a stir before pouring.
6 ✓

Chill for 4 hours.

Tip: Let it set completely.
7 ✓

Before serving, crumble gingerbread or biscuits on top for crunchy texture.

Tip: You can also drizzle a little extra honey on top.

Recipe FAQ

The spice flavour is too strong.
The intensity of gingerbread spice mixes varies. Use less at the start and taste it!
It didn't set.
The acidity and enzymes in honey can sometimes weaken gelatine, but this is rare with heat-treated honey and spice mixes. Use slightly more gelatine if you want to be sure.
