Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2.5 teaspoons powdered gelatin
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Then, whisk in the bloomed gelatin until it is fully dissolved.
Pour the mixture evenly into six small serving glasses or ramekins. Let them cool for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or until set.
While the panna cotta sets, prepare the berry sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, honey, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and release their juices.
Using a blender or immersion blender, puree the berry mixture until smooth. If desired, strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature.
Once the panna cotta is fully chilled and set, drizzle the berry sauce over each serving. Use a toothpick or skewer to lightly swirl the sauce into the panna cotta to create a marbled effect.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your elegant Marbled Berry Panna Cotta!
