Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 teaspoons powdered gelatin (about one 1/4-ounce envelope)
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- For the berry sauce (optional): 1 cup mixed berries, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot and sugar dissolves, but do not boil.
- Remove from heat. Add bloomed gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Divide mixture among four 6-ounce ramekins or glasses. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- For the berry sauce: In a small saucepan, combine berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until berries break down and sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Strain if desired. Cool completely.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of each ramekin and invert onto a plate, or serve in the glass. Spoon berry sauce on top.
Tips
- For a richer panna cotta, use all heavy cream instead of milk.
- Can be made up to 2 days ahead; cover and refrigerate.
- Serve with fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey instead of berry sauce.
