Panna Cotta Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Bloom the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and spongy.

  2. 2

    Heat the Cream Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, instant espresso powder, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and espresso dissolve. Do not let it boil.

  3. 3

    Combine Gelatin

    Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Pour and Chill

    Pour the mixture into serving glasses or molds. Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once set, top with whipped cream and serve with a dark chocolate swizzle stick.
