Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.3333333333333333 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 whole Vanilla bean
- 1 tablespoon Gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Rose water
- 6 petals Edible rose petals (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. This will allow the gelatin to absorb the water and become spongy.
Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using the back of a knife. Set the seeds aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla bean seeds, and the vanilla pod itself. Heat over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot, but do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the vanilla pod. Stir in the rose water and bloomed gelatin until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or a bowl with a spout to remove any solids.
Evenly divide the mixture into 4 small ramekins or serving glasses. Allow them to cool to room temperature before covering them with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. Panna cotta should jiggle slightly but hold its shape when ready.
To serve, run a small knife around the edge of each panna cotta and gently invert it onto a serving plate, or serve directly in the ramekins/glasses. Garnish with edible rose petals for an elegant touch, if desired.
