Coffee Panna Cotta

🍰 Desserts

Espresso-scented panna cotta, the after-dinner dessert for coffee people. Cool and creamy, the kind of dessert that calms a big meal down. Make it a day ahead — it only improves overnight.

Prep 24 min Cook 11 min Serves 5 Easy

Ingredients

  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Salta pinch
  • Milk2 cups
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Instant Coffee2 tbsp
  • Gelatin2 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather everything before you start — custards punish multitasking.

  2. 2

    Scald the milk with the instant coffee — small bubbles at the edge, never a rolling boil.

  3. 3

    Beat the heavy cream and sugar together, then ease in the warm milk a little at a time.

  4. 4

    Return to gentle heat and stir without stopping until it thickens enough to cloak the spoon.

  5. 5

    Divide between glasses, press clingfilm onto the surface, chill until set, then crown with gelatin.

Chef's tip

Resting a custard or pudding overnight deepens the flavour and sets a cleaner slice.
