Panna Cotta Base

Method

Panna Cotta Base

  1. 1

    Prepare Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the 3 tablespoons of cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms.

  2. 2

    Heat Cream and Sugar

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot, but not boiling.

  3. 3

    Add Gelatin and Vanilla

    Remove the saucepan from heat. 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 molds or cups. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Berry Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare Berry Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring gently, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.

  2. 6

    Cool the Sauce

    Remove from heat and let the sauce cool. You can strain it if you prefer a smoother sauce.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Once the panna cotta has set, carefully unmold it onto plates and drizzle the berry sauce on top before serving.
