Authentic German Black Forest Cake, Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte

12. In a medium saucepan, add the cornstarch and sugar with the 2 cups of milk and whisk over medium heat.

Keep stirring to avoid lumps. Once the mixture resembles pudding mixture in thickness, add the gelatin mixture and whisk to combine and the mixture is nice and smooth. (You may need to pop the gelatin mixture in the microwave for 15 seconds to loosen if it has set too soon.)

13. Transfer the gelatin mix to a large bowl and set aside.

14. Using a mixer, add the fresh cream, kirsch and vanilla extract.

Using the whisk attachment, whisk until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over whisk as your cream will become too stiff and resemble butter!

15. Add half of the whipped cream to the gelatin mixture; stir until smooth using a spatula or hand whisk.

Add remaining whipped cream, and gently fold until the mixture is combined.
