Instructions
- Soften the gelatin sheets by placing them in a bowl covered with cold water for about two to 5 minutes or until spongy.
- Meanwhile, separate the yolks from the whites.
- In a bowl of a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer), add the egg whites and mix on a medium to a high setting until stiff, reserve.
- In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sweetener. Then gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth and well combined, reserve.
- When spongy, strain the gelatin sheets and place them in a small saucepan with the vanilla extract over the lowest heat setting.
- Stir for about 30 seconds until the sheets have melted and you have a brown vanilla-like liquid.
- Pour the melted gelatin-vanilla mix into the reserved mascarpone mixture in small batches (drips).
- Use a whisk to stir each batch of gelatin liquid gently until completely dissolved into the mascarpone mix.
- Continue until all the melted gelatin is completely incorporated. Don’t rush this and work in small batches because the gelatin can otherwise easily clump.
- Then, fold the stiffed egg whites into the mascarpone mix. The mixture should become airy.
- Divide the mascarpone mixture equally into 6 ramekins or glasses.
- Store in the fridge for at least 5 hours, preferably covered, best overnight.
- When ready to serve, pour a generous amount of cacao powder into a small sifter and gently shake it back and forth over the desserts to create a fine coat—be generous with the cacao powder.
- Top it off with (black)berries and some chocolate mint (optional).

Notes
- See Helpful Tips and Recipe FAQs in post for best results!
- To soften gelatin sheets: Place the sheets in a bowl covered with cold water for about 2 minutes (no longer than 5 minutes). Then take them out, gently squeezing out any extra water.
- Eggs and mascarpone cheese: It’s best to take them out of the fridge 30 minutes beforehand to let them come at room temperature.
- Sweetener: You can use regular confectioner sugar instead of Swerve (sugar replacement) if preferred—know that the nutrition information provided below is calculated using a zero-sugar sweetener like Swerve.
