Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, split or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons (about 8 grams) gelatin powder
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) cold water
  • 2 cups (300 grams) fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons honey or sugar to taste

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle 2 1/2 teaspoons gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until spongy.
  2. Heat cream and milk: In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and split vanilla bean seeds. Warm over medium heat, whisking gently, until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling (around 170°F).
  3. Add gelatin: Remove from heat and stir in bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. If using vanilla extract, add now and whisk to combine.
  4. Strain and pour: Pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove vanilla bean bits. Pour into 4-6 ramekins or serving glasses.
  5. Chill to set: Refrigerate uncovered for about 4 hours until set but still jiggly.
  6. Prepare berry sauce: In a small saucepan, combine fresh berries and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until berries break down and sauce thickens. Sweeten with honey or sugar if desired. Cool completely.
  7. Serve: Spoon berry sauce over panna cotta before serving. Garnish with whole berries or mint if desired.

Notes

Bloom gelatin properly to avoid lumps. Keep cream mixture below boiling to prevent grainy texture. Strain mixture for smoothness. Let panna cotta rest at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for best taste. Fresh berries preferred for sauce; frozen berries can be used with longer cooking.
