Panna Cotta Base

Crème Anglais

White Chocolate Sauce

Nutella Drizzle

Method

Panna Cotta Base

  1. 1

    Prepare Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.

  2. 2

    Heat Cream and Milk

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

  3. 3

    Combine Gelatin

    Once the cream mixture is warm, remove it from heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and vanilla extract, stirring until fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Set in Molds

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

Crème Anglais

  1. 5

    Prepare Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the cream, adding the pod as well.

  2. 6

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and thick.

  3. 7

    Combine and Cook

    Once the cream is steaming, slowly whisk it into the egg mixture to temper the yolks. Return the entire mixture to the saucepan and cook on low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens slightly (do not boil).

  4. 8

    Strain and Cool

    Strain the crème anglaise through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool it to room temperature, then refrigerate until ready to serve.

White Chocolate Sauce

  1. 9

    Melt Chocolate

    In a small saucepan, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat over low heat, stirring continuously until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Berry Topping

  1. 10

    Prepare Berries

    In a bowl, combine the mixed berries. Drizzle honey over the berries and gently toss to coat.

Nutella Drizzle

  1. 11

    Prepare Nutella

    Take Nutella and warm it slightly in the microwave or on the stovetop for easier drizzling.
