• 2.5 teaspoons Unflavored gelatin powder
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom.

2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves. Do not let it boil.

3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.

4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.

5. Gradually add the warm cream mixture to the mascarpone cheese mixture, whisking constantly to combine until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

6. Pour the mixture evenly into 6 small ramekins or serving glasses. Allow them to cool slightly at room temperature, then cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

7. Once set, you can serve the panna cotta in the ramekins or gently loosen the edges with a knife and invert them onto plates for serving.

8. Garnish with fresh berries and a few mint leaves before serving, if desired.
