Classic Panna Cotta Recipe

Instructions

- In a large pan, add the cream and sugar. Then open the vanilla pod using a knife and try to extract its seeds and add them to the cream mixture.

- Once the mix is boiling, turn off the heat. Take the softened gelatine leaves and squeeze off the water. Then add the gelatine and stir with the whisk into the hot cream.
- Set the mixture aside leave until it becomes warm, then carefully put the pannacotta in some ramekins, glasses, or jam jars.
- Cover the ramekins or the glasses with plastic wrap and place them in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Dress up your panna cotta!
For serving this magical italian dessert, you can top it using any of your favorate sauces: berries sauce, chocolat or caramel sauce…
My favorite version of Panna Cotta is the vanilla one topped with red fruits sauce.
When the pannacotta has set in the fridge, I top it with red fruits coulis and some pieces of fresh strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and some menth leaves.
