Jelly Delights - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb strawberries, pureed, strained
1/2 cup simple syrup
2 tsp powdered gelatin, soaked in cold water for 5 mins
None None FOR THE VANILLA CUSTARD
2 cups milk
1 None vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
4 None large egg yolks
4 tbsp granulated sugar

Preparation

To make the strawberry jelly, blend strawberry puree and simple syrup together in a blender. Combine 1/2 cup puree with bloomed gelatin in a small saucepan. Gently heat until gelatin dissolves. Mix into remaining puree then distribute between popsicle molds until roughly 2/3 full. Freeze.
Meanwhile, to make the vanilla custard, gently heat milk and vanilla bean until just simmering. Remove from heat and discard vanilla bean.
Beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale. Gradually add warm milk, beating constantly. Pour back into saucepan and heat gently, stirring, until custard coats the back of a wooden spoon. Transfer to a measuring cup and let cool then chill.
Once the strawberry jelly has set, pour chilled custard over top, filling molds nearly to the top. Insert a popsicle stick into each and freeze overnight.
