Panna Cotta Ingredients

Method

Panna Cotta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms.

  2. 2

    Heat the Cream Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Add Gelatin to Cream

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add the limoncello and vanilla extract, stirring to combine well.

  4. 4

    Pour into Molds

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

  5. 5

    Serve with Berries

    Once set, carefully unmold the panna cotta (if using molds) and serve topped with fresh seasonal berries.
