Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 packet Unflavored gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Low sodium whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 whole Vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, low sodium whole milk, and granulated sugar.
Add the split vanilla bean and the scraped seeds to the saucepan. Stir gently to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot but not boiling and the sugar is dissolved, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the softened gelatin until it is completely dissolved into the mixture.
Stir in the vanilla extract for additional flavor.
Remove the vanilla bean pod from the mixture.
Pour the mixture into six 4-ounce ramekins or serving glasses.
Allow the panna cotta to cool slightly at room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the panna cotta is set.
To serve, you can garnish the panna cotta with fresh fruit, a light syrup, or a mint leaf for decoration if desired.
