Panna Cotta Base

Method

Panna Cotta Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Bloom the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder and water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes gelatinous.

  2. 2

    Heat the Cream Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Add Gelatin and Flavoring

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing 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 or until set.

Fruit Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Berries

    Rinse the fresh berries under cold water and pat them dry. If using strawberries, hull and slice them.

  2. 7

    Cook the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine the berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the mixture starts to bubble and the berries soften (about 5-7 minutes).

  3. 8

    Cool the Sauce

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let the fruit sauce cool slightly. It will thicken as it cools.
