Panna Cotta:
- 2¼ teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 480 milliliters heavy cream
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 65 grams granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Berry Sauce:
- 300 grams mixed berries, fresh or frozen
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Soften the Gelatin – Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the cold water in a small bowl. Allow it to bloom for 5 to 10 minutes until softened.
- Heat the Dairy Mixture – Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar in a saucepan. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Incorporate Gelatin and Flavourings – Remove the dairy mixture from the heat. Stir in the softened gelatin, vanilla extract, and salt, ensuring the gelatin is fully dissolved.
- Portion and Cool – Divide the panna cotta mixture evenly among 8 ramekins or molds. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Chill to Set – Refrigerate the ramekins for at least 4 hours or overnight until the panna cotta is firm to the touch.
- Prepare the Berry Sauce – While the panna cotta chills, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the berries are softened and the sauce has thickened slightly. Allow to cool completely.
- Serve – Unmold the panna cotta onto serving plates if desired. Spoon berry sauce over each portion and present immediately.
