Heat the semi–skimmed milk, half the caster sugar and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium to high heat. Bring to the boil. Remove from the heat.

Whisk the remaining sugar and egg yolks together until fluffy. Add 1½ tablespoons of warm milk to the egg mixture, beating constantly. Slowly add egg mixture to the remaining milk beating continuously with a whisk.

Add water to a glass bowl, then sprinkle the powdered gelatine over the water and leave for 2 minutes. Melt gelatine over boiling water or in the microwave add to milk mixture. Cool over a bowl of cold water.
