Panna Cotta Base

Method

Panna Cotta Preparation

  1. 1

    Bloom the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, combine gelatin powder and cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.

  2. 2

    Heat the Cream Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Add Gelatin and Vanilla

    Remove the saucepan from heat and add the bloomed gelatin and vanilla extract. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Pour into Molds

    Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or molds. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Berry Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Once the panna cotta has set, remove from the fridge and top with the berry sauce before serving.
