Panna Cotta Base

Method

Panna Cotta Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Bloom the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder and water. Stir well and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes a gel-like consistency.

  2. 2

    Heat the Cream Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is just about to simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Gelatin

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin and vanilla extract until completely dissolved.

  4. 4

    Pour into Molds

    Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or molds. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Berry Topping Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Berries

    In a medium bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Gently toss to coat the berries evenly.

  2. 6

    Let the Topping Sit

    Let the berry mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the sugar to draw out the juices, creating a syrup.

Final Assembly

  1. 7

    Serve

    Once the panna cotta has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Top each panna cotta with the berry mixture just before serving. Enjoy your delicious creamy dessert!
