Panna Cotta Base

Method

Panna Cotta Preparation

  1. 1

    Bloom the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes spongy.

  2. 2

    Heat the Cream Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Gelatin

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

  4. 4

    Pour into Molds

    Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or molds. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Chill

    Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until set.

Berry Sauce Preparation (optional)

  1. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.

  2. 7

    Cool the Sauce

    Remove from heat and let the berry sauce cool to room temperature before serving.
