Ingredients

INGREDIENTS FOR 4 FIVE-OUNCE MOLDS

  • Heavy cream 2.1 cups (500 ml)
  • Gelatin 0.5 oz (8 g)
  • Vanilla bean 1
  • Sugar 6.3 tbsp (80 g)

Instructions

  1. To make panna cotta, first soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 10-15 minutes . Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and extract the seeds by scraping with the tip of a knife . Put the liquid cream in a saucepan, then pour in the sugar .
  2. Flavor with the vanilla seeds  and also add the pod ; heat everything over a low heat, but without boiling; when it comes to a boil, turn off the heat and extract the pod using kitchen tongs .

  3. When the gelatin is softened, drain it without squeezing excessively , then dip it in the pot with hot cream . Stir with a wooden spoon or hand whisk until the gelatin has completely dissolved; there must be no lumps. At this point take 4 five-ounce molds  and pour in the panna cotta using a ladle.

  4. Once the molds are filled , put the panna cotta in the refrigerator to set for at least 5 hours. Once it has set , before serving it and for better demolding, dip each mold into boiling water for a few seconds 

  5. Immediately demold the panna cotta on each serving plate : serve your panna cotta au natural , with caramel, melted chocolate, or fruit coulis .
