Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups skim milk
- 2.5 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 cup light cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Pour 1/2 cup of skim milk into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 1.5 cups of skim milk, light cream, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the softened gelatin and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
Divide the mixture among four ramekins or serving glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
To make the berry sauce, combine the mixed berries, lemon juice, honey, and 1 tablespoon of water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Cook for 5 minutes, or until the berries are softened, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the remaining 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry.
Add the slurry to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Once the panna cotta is set, remove from the refrigerator and top each with the cooled berry sauce before serving.
