Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (9 g) unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) mixed fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes until bloomed.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, whisking until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly among ramekins or dessert glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-4 hours until set.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the mixture is syrupy, about 5-7 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer if a smooth sauce is desired.
  6. Once panna cotta is set, remove from the fridge. To serve, dip the bottoms of the ramekins in hot water for a few seconds, then invert onto plates. Drizzle with berry sauce and garnish as desired.
