Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 ounces White chocolate (finely chopped or chips)
- 1 packet (about 2.25 teaspoons) Unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- as needed Fresh berries or fruit compote (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes until softened.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Stir gently and heat until the sugar dissolves and small bubbles start to form around the edges, but do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Add the chopped white chocolate to the cream mixture and whisk until melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Pour the mixture evenly into 6 ramekins or serving glasses. Allow them to cool to room temperature before covering with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the panna cotta for at least 4 hours, or until set and firm.
Before serving, garnish with fresh berries or fruit compote for a touch of sweetness and presentation, if desired.
