Panna Cotta Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Gelatin
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
- 2
Burn the Butter
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue cooking until it turns a deep golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
- 3
Combine Cream and Milk
In another saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

Add Burnt Butter
Once the cream mixture is hot, remove it from heat and whisk in the browned butter and vanilla extract.
- 5
Incorporate Gelatin
Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture and whisk until fully dissolved.

Chill the Mixture
Pour the panna cotta mixture into serving molds or glasses. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- 7
Serve
Once set, carefully unmold the panna cotta if using molds. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh fruit or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
