Description

Vanilla Panna Cotta with Berries is a creamy dessert topped with fresh berries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Panna Cotta:
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • For the Berry Topping:
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Bloom Gelatin: In a small bowl, combine the cold water and gelatin powder. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the gelatin softens.
  2. Heat Cream and Milk: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
  3. Add Vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Incorporate Gelatin: Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture, stirring until completely dissolved.
  5. Pour Mixture: Divide the panna cotta mixture evenly into serving glasses or ramekins.
  6. Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  7. Mix Berries: In a medium bowl, combine the mixed fresh berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly.
  8. Let Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes to let the berries release their juices.
  9. Top Panna Cotta: Once the panna cotta is set, remove it from the refrigerator. Spoon the berry mixture over the top of each panna cotta.
  10. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with mint leaves or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
  11. Tips: For a more decadent flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla bean paste instead of extract.
  12. Storage Instructions: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Heavy Cream: You can substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  • Whole Milk: Use almond milk or any plant-based milk for a lighter version.
  • Granulated Sugar: Honey or maple syrup can be used as natural sweeteners.
