Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh fruit or fruit puree (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the cream is hot but not boiling. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until it is fully dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract and buttermilk, whisking until smooth.
Divide the mixture evenly among 6 ramekins or serving glasses, leaving some room at the top for potential toppings.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set. The panna cotta should be firm yet jiggly when gently shaken.
To serve, optionally top with fresh fruit, fruit puree, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness and presentation.
