Description
A refreshing and light autumn dessert featuring the deep flavors of unfiltered apple cider topped with a fluffy, spiced whipped cream.
Ingredients
3 cups unfiltered apple cider, divided
2 envelopes (1/2 oz total) unflavored gelatin powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, depending on cider sweetness)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Pour 1 cup of cold apple cider into a medium bowl and sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface; let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.
Step 2: In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 2 cups of apple cider (and brown sugar, if using) over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
Step 3: Pour the hot cider over the bloomed gelatin and whisk continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is clear.
Step 4: Pour the mixture into four individual glass bowls or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firmly set.
Step 5: Just before serving, in a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until medium peaks form.
Step 6: Dollop a generous spoonful of the cinnamon whipped cream onto each portion of apple cider gelatin and serve immediately.
Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh-pressed cider from a local orchard. The gelatin can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
