Panna Cotta Ingredients

Method

Panna Cotta Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with the cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat the Cream Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm and the sugar is dissolved, but do not let it boil.

  3. 3

    Add Gelatin

    Remove the saucepan from heat and add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the warm cream mixture. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

  4. 4

    Add Vanilla

    Stir in the vanilla extract to the cream mixture until fully combined.

  5. 5

    Pour into Molds

    Pour the panna cotta mixture into individual serving cups or molds. Allow them to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Chill

    Once cooled, cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

  7. 7

    Serve with Berries

    Once set, remove the panna cotta from the refrigerator. Top each serving with fresh berries before serving.
