Ingredients
  • 1 cup • whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon • unflavored gelatin
  • 2 cups • heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup • granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon • vanilla extract
  • For the Fruit Coulis (optional):
  • 1 cup • fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup • granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon • lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Prepare the Gelatin: Pour the milk into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to soften.
  2. Heat the Cream: In a saucepan, heat the cream and sugar over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the gelatin mixture until completely dissolved. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Chill the Panna Cotta: Pour the mixture into ramekins or serving glasses. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  4. Prepare the Fruit Coulis (optional): In a saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Strain through a sieve to remove seeds, if desired. Let cool.
  5. Serve: Serve the panna cotta with a drizzle of fruit coulis or caramel sauce.
