Method

Panna Cotta

  1. 1

    Prepare Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it softens.

  2. 2

    Heat Cream

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer.

    Remove from heat, add the softened gelatin, and stir until fully dissolved. Pour the mixture into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.

    Melt Chocolate

    In a heatproof bowl, melt dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly.

  2. 5

    Whip Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.

  3. 6

    Beat Egg Whites

    In another bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

  4. 7

    Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream, then gently fold in the beaten egg whites until fully incorporated. Spoon into serving cups and chill for at least 2 hours.
