Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 packet Unflavored gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons Water
- Optional fresh fruit or sauce for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling (about 5-7 minutes).
Once the cream mixture is hot, remove it from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Divide the mixture evenly between 6 small ramekins or dessert glasses.
Let the panna cotta cool slightly at room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, remove the plastic wrap and garnish with fresh fruit, a drizzle of sauce, or other toppings as desired.
