Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 packet (approx. 2.5 tsp) unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently, until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is warm (do not let it boil).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
Add the pure vanilla extract to the mixture and stir to combine.
Divide the mixture evenly into 6 small serving glasses, ramekins, or molds.
Allow the panna cotta to cool to room temperature, then cover each container with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the panna cotta is set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with fresh berries and a sprig of mint for a pop of color and flavor.
Enjoy your creamy and flavorful Panna Cotta Everyday Italian!
