Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin over 3 tablespoons of water. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gelatinous.
  2. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of whole milk, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of instant espresso powder. Heat over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl for a smooth texture.
  5. Carefully distribute the mixture into individual ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  6. To unmold, dip each ramekin briefly in warm water, then invert onto serving plates and garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
