Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Medium saucepan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Ramekins or small glasses
  • Sieve

Ingredients
  

For Panna Cotta:

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean - split lengthwise
  • 2 1/4 tsp powdered gelatin
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • Fresh raspberries - for garnish

For Raspberry Coulis:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, bring the cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla bean to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Once simmering, turn off heat and let steep for 15 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the vanilla bean from the cream mixture and gently whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
  • Strain the mixture through a sieve into a mixing bowl.
  • Divide the mixture into ramekins or small glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  • For the raspberry coulis, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries have broken down and the mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes. Let cool before using.
  • To serve, top the chilled panna cottas with raspberry coulis and a few fresh raspberries. Enjoy!

Notes

For a twist on the classic, try adding a layer of crushed graham crackers or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
You can also use other types of fruit for the coulis, such as strawberries or blueberries.
