Remove from heat and stir in squeezed gelatin with a hand blender. Let cool to room temperature, then fold in semi-stiff whipped cream.

For the chocolate cream, soak gelatin, crush couverture and place in a bowl. Bring the milk to the boil and pour over the couverture. Blend in squeezed gelatin with a hand blender until mixture reaches an elastic consistency.
