El Paso Spanish Crema, also known as Spanish Cream, is a classic dessert that can be found in many Spanish and Portuguese homes. It is simple to make and requires only a few ingredients. The delicate vanilla flavour is offset by the rich creaminess of the dish. It is perfect for those with a sweet tooth and is often served as a light dessert at the end of a meal.

Instructions

1.	Pour 3 tablespoons of water into a bowl and sprinkle gelatin over it. Allow it to bloom for 5 minutes.

3.	Remove the cream from heat and mix in the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and the gelatin mixture.
4.	Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the cream mixture.
5.	Put the mixture into serving dishes and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
6.	Top with sweetened whipped cream and serve chilled.
