Panna Cotta

Method

Panna Cotta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to bloom.

  2. 2

    Heat Cream and Milk

    In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. If using a vanilla bean, split it open and scrape the seeds into the mixture, then add the pod as well. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Combine Gelatin

    Once the cream mixture is hot, remove it from the heat. Remove the vanilla pod (if used). Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Chill the Panna Cotta

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

Berry Coulis Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Berries

    In a saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries release their juices and the sugar dissolves, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 6

    Blend the Coulis

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender. Strain the coulis through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Once the panna cotta has set, serve it topped with the berry coulis.
