Main Ingredients

Method

Panna Cotta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and sponge-like.

  2. 2

    Heat the Cream Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, combine the 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

    Once the cream mixture is hot, remove it from heat. Add the softened gelatin and vanilla extract, stirring continuously until the gelatin has completely dissolved.

  4. 4

    Pour into Molds

    Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or molds. Allow them to cool to room temperature.

  5. 5

    Chill

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

Serving Suggestions

  1. 6

    Prepare Toppings

    While the panna cotta is chilling, wash and prepare the fresh berries. You can slice strawberries if using them.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Once the panna cotta is set, remove it from the refrigerator. If desired, top with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey or fruit sauce, and a few mint leaves before serving.
