This silky gluten free panna cotta is a classic Italian dessert that never fails to impress. It's elegant, creamy, and surprisingly simple to pull off.
1Vanilla Bean, split and scraped (or 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract)
2 1/2tspUnflavored Gelatin Powder
3tbspCold Water
Fresh Berries for topping
Honey for drizzling
Instructions
Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let bloom for 5 minutes until softened and absorbed.
In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla bean with seeds. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and mixture is steaming hot but not boiling.
Remove from heat and add the bloomed gelatin, whisking until completely dissolved, about 1 minute. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
Divide mixture evenly among 6 ramekins or serving glasses. Let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set and jiggly.
Serve chilled, topped with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey. Can be unmolded by running ramekins under warm water for a few seconds if desired.
