Preparation
  1. Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over cold water and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Heat the cream mixture: In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

  4. Portion it out: Divide the mixture evenly among 8 ramekins or molds.
  5. Chill: Let filled ramekins cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
  6. Prepare berry sauce: In a saucepan, combine mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice, cooking over medium heat until the berries are soft and the sauce thickens slightly.
