Panna Cotta Base

Method

Panna Cotta Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.

  2. 2

    Heat the Cream Mixture

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

  3. 3

    Add the Gelatin and Vanilla

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and vanilla extract, stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

  4. 4

    Pour into Molds

    Pour the mixture into individual serving molds or glasses. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Berry Compote

  1. 5

    Cook the Berries

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently until the berries start to break down and the mixture thickens slightly.

  2. 6

    Cool the Compote

    Remove from heat and let the berry compote cool to room temperature. It can be served warm or chilled.
