Panna Cotta Ingredients
Method
Panna Cotta Preparation
Prepare the Gelatin
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
Heat the Cream Mixture
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, lime zest, and lime juice. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Incorporate the Gelatin
Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot cream mixture and stir until fully dissolved.
Add Basil
Tear the fresh basil leaves and stir them into the mixture, allowing them to infuse the panna cotta.
Chill the Mixture
Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or molds. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Serve
Once set, garnish with additional lime zest or basil leaves if desired and serve chilled.
