Panna Cotta

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Heat Cream Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and malted milk powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and malted milk powder are dissolved and the mixture is warm but not boiling.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Gelatin

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the softened gelatin until completely dissolved, then add vanilla extract. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Pour and Chill

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once set, serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with crushed malted milk balls or whipped cream.
