Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 5 elderflowers
  • 400 g cream
  • 50 g sugar
  • 200 ml milk
  • 2 sprigs of peppermint
  • 6 sheets of gelatin
  • some caramel sauce
  • e.g. peppermint or some elderflowers

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 3 hours 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 3 minutes; Total time approx. 3 hours 23 minutes

Cut the elderflowers, if possible, without the stems and heat them with the cream, sugar, milk, and mint for about 3 minutes (I don’t boil the cream, as it tends to curdle). Let the cream mixture stand for another 5 minutes and cool slightly. Meanwhile, soften the gelatin according to the package instructions. Pour the cream through a sieve into a bowl. Then squeeze out the gelatin and add it to the warm cream to dissolve. Now pour the cream mixture into glasses or bowls and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours. Drizzle with a little caramel sauce and garnish with mint or a few elderflowers.
