Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 tablespoon cold water
1 ½ cups heavy cream
¼ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Sprinkle gelatin over the water. The gelatin will absorb the water and dissolve, in a process called "blooming."
  • In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream with sugar and cook over medium until it's at the scalding point, or just under a boil.
  • Once the cream has almost reached the boiling point, remove from heat and add vanilla extract and bloomed gelatin. Stir until fully dissolved.
  • Strain panna cotta mixture into desired serving tempered glasses.
  • Allow cream to come to room temperature before chilling in the fridge for 2-4 hours, or until the cream is firm in texture.
  • Top with berries and honey.
  • Enjoy!

Satin chocolate sauce, recipe follows
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
4 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate

As soon as it simmers, turn off the heat and add the gelatin mixture, stirring to dissolve the gelatin.

Chill, uncovered, 2 hours.
  • Satin Chocolate Sauce: In the top half of a double boiler, combine the 2 chocolates over simmering water.

The sauce can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated. To rewarm, stir over low heat or heat in a microwave.
  • To serve panna cotta, dip the cups in hot water for 10 seconds, then turn the panna cottas out onto dessert plates (or, serve in the cups). Surround each panna cotta with berries and satin chocolate sauce.

EMichael Reidt has a twist on his pannac cotta. As food and wine says "Panna cotta is an eggless custard, typically served unmolded. But Reidt's vanilla bean panna cotta is as creamy as a crème brûlée-so creamy, in fact, that he serves it in ramekins." Does not include 3 hours of chilling time

Tips:

  • Use high-quality vanilla beans. This will give your panna cotta the best flavor. If you can't find vanilla beans, you can use vanilla extract, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Make sure the cream is cold before you start. This will help the panna cotta set properly.

  • Serve the panna cotta with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include fresh berries, fruit sauce, or whipped cream.
