Classic Panna Cotta
Wobbling cream set with gelatin, crowned with macerated berries. Smooth, wobbly and elegant — restaurant-simple, home-easy. Serve chilled, straight from the fridge, in small glasses or ramekins.
Ingredients
- Heavy Cream1/4 cup
- Salta pinch
- Milk2 cups
- Sugar1/3 cup
- Vanilla Extract1 cup, chopped
- Strawberries2 cups, hulled and sliced
- Gelatin2 tsp
Instructions
- 1
Set out all ingredients and the serving dishes first; the cooking itself moves quickly.
- 2
Warm the milk with the gelatin gently until steaming, not boiling, so the base stays smooth.
- 3
Combine the heavy cream with the sugar; stream in the hot milk slowly so nothing curdles.
- 4
Return to gentle heat and stir without stopping until it thickens enough to cloak the spoon.
- 5
Divide between glasses, press clingfilm onto the surface, chill until set, then crown with vanilla extract.
Chef's tip
Resting a custard or pudding overnight deepens the flavour and sets a cleaner slice.
