Panna Cotta Base

Method

Panna Cotta Base

  1. 1

    Bloom the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, combine the unflavored gelatin powder with 3 tablespoons of water. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.

  2. 2

    Heat the Cream and Milk

    In a medium 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 Vanilla and Bourbon

    Once the cream mixture is heated, remove it from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and bourbon.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Gelatin

    Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot cream mixture. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

  5. 5

    Chill

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

Berry Sauce

  1. 6

    Prepare the Berries

    In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat until the berries start to break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 7

    Add Lemon Juice

    Stir in the lemon juice and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 8

    Cool the Sauce

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

  4. 9

    Serve

    Once the panna cotta has set, carefully unmold it if using molds. Serve with a generous drizzle of the berry sauce on top.
