Panna Cotta Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.

  2. 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. 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.

  4. 4

    Add Burnt Butter

    Once the cream mixture is hot, remove it from heat and whisk in the browned butter and vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Gelatin

    Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture and whisk until fully dissolved.

  6. 6

    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. 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.
