Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 packet of unflavored gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Stir gently and heat over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and mix well.
Divide the mixture evenly into 4 small ramekins or serving glasses.
Let the ramekins cool slightly, then cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve the panna cotta as is, or garnish with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for an added touch of flavor and texture.
