Vanilla Panna Cotta
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped out
- 2 1/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture almost comes to a simmer. Remove from heat.
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the cream mixture and stir until completely dissolved.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pouring jug to remove any lumps or vanilla bean pieces.
- Pour the mixture into 6 ramekins or serving glasses. Let them cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of each panna cotta and invert onto a plate, or serve in the glasses. Enjoy!
Panna Cotta, a classic Italian dessert, has a rich history dating back to the Piedmont region. This creamy, silky treat is believed to have originated in the early 1900s, with its name translating to "cooked cream." Renowned chefs like Roberto Donna and Lidia Bastianich have popularized this dessert in the US, while Italian restaurants like Enoteca San Marco in Venice and La Pergola in Rome are known for serving exceptional versions. The key to a perfect panna cotta lies in the balance of cream, sugar, and gelatin, creating a delicate yet firm texture. For a twist, consider infusing flavors like vanilla, coffee, or citrus.
