How to prepare Coffee Diplomatic Cream

To prepare the coffee diplomatic cream, first pour 1 cup of milk into a saucepan 1 and bring it to a boil. The other 1/6 cup will be used later. At this point, add the instant coffee 2 and stir off the heat until it has completely dissolved 3.

In a bowl, pour the egg yolks and the sugar 4 and beat with a whisk. Add the cornstarch 5 and stir again 6 until you get a lump-free mixture.

Gradually add the coffee milk into the bowl with the yolk mixture 7, stir, and pour back into the saucepan 8. Bring it back to the heat until the cream has thickened 9. It will take a couple of minutes.

To stop the cooking, immerse the saucepan in a bowl with ice water 10. Stir the cream quickly until it is no longer hot; it should be around 122°F. Set aside for a moment and soak the gelatin in cold water 11. Pour the cold heavy cream into a bowl and whip it with electric beaters 12,

until you have obtained a frothy consistency 13. Pour the remaining 1/6 cup of milk into a saucepan 14, heat it, and as soon as it reaches a boil, turn off the heat. Drain the gelatin, gently squeeze it, and pour it into the milk 15.

Stir until it is completely dissolved 16, then pour everything into the saucepan with the coffee cream 17, continuing to stir with a whisk to incorporate it. When the cream reaches a temperature of 86°F, you can incorporate the whipped cream.

Add a spoonful at a time 19 and gently mix 20 until you get a homogeneous consistency 21.

Transfer the coffee diplomatic cream into a baking dish 22, cover with plastic wrap in contact 23, and let it cool in the refrigerator before using it 24.
